#FountainPens

Proposal: To reuse those tiny Tabasco bottles as travel containers for fountain pen ink.

Problem is, the barrel of the converter doesn't fit inside the bottle mouth. But the tip does. So MAYBE there's a potential system whereby I can turn it upside down, fill it like a syringe from a medicine vial, and NOT risk spilling ink everywhere? Maybe involving some sort of rubber gaskety thing?

look, i can dream

@NicoleJLeBoeuf if you have access to a 3D printer you could try making a little seal ring thing with TPU

@scribblybit Yes! My husband had a similar thought. Alas, I do not have ready access to a 3D printer. I do have an acquaintance with one, though--she mostly uses it to make custom bobbins for friends' spinning wheels.

I also thought about repurposing some sort of rubber nipple thing, if they come in "much smaller than a baby bottle."

It's possible that a rubber band criss-cross wrapped around the base of the converter at the time of filling would do the trick too, if temporarily.
