If you use Pilot Parallel pen cartridges, when they're empty you can remove the little ball inside the cartridge (just cut it open with a blade), clean the ball with paper towel & use. They are of the smaller kind though, but work for me!

Hi everyone!

I recently bought 10 of these said silver balls for less than $2 total. You can easily find them at your local hardware stores (I went to Ace). Just ask for ball bearings. They come in so many different sizes. I just grabbed the smallest ones.

I use them for my Dr. PH Martin copper plate gold. Works like a charm!
