Tools & Supplies / Folded Pen nibs -- Cleaning?
« on: July 13, 2020, 12:30:05 PM »
So, I know this forum is mostly pointed pen, but was wondering if anyone else is a "folded pen freak" such as myself? I have 2 store-bought brass nibs from Paper & Ink, and sometimes, I just feel as though the ink does not flow as nicely through them, no matter how much I've cleaned them, etc.
I've tried spit (yes, gross, I know), lighter flame, Windex, pen cleaner, toothbrush... I don't know what else to use and it's frustrating me. The ink will flow ok from the wide part, but if I angle it up to make a think line, it either doesn't flow out/skips or comes out too much.
Just fyi, they're a few years old.
Thanks!
