The cork in my piston fountain pen has shrunk. It needs to be repaired—has anyone else had this problem before?
#fountainPen
Finally got this vintage Pelikan to write well.
I thought that the nib was the issue that caused it to skip and hard start because the tines were a bit spread, but closing them didn't fix it.
But when i filled this light grey ink in and the writing came out blue, i realized that the feed must be full of decades old dry ink
Many many MANY cleaning sessions later, the grey ink finally stays grey and it's now a super wet writer with a lovely flexy nib!

Buntstifte
Das ist eines meiner #Upcycling Projekte. Für diese Skulptur habe ich monatelang #Buntstifte bei Freunden, Kollegen, Nachbarn gesammelt. Und ich habe nach einer Anfrage bei #pelikan einen ganzen Karton mit Stiften zugeschickt bekommen. Aber das Schönste war die Zusammenarbeit mit den Kindern der Peter-Petersen Schule in Porz-Grengel, die alle für mich gesammelt haben.
