Excellent video! I will use this on my current Lamy pens which I love. However, they are no longer my go to pen because of this issue. My current favorite are the TWSBIs which I find are easy to maintain and they write pretty much every time even after sitting for weeks.

Does Pelikan Brilliant Black ink dry quickly in the Pilot Elite? Is it easy to clean? Does the ink have a strong smell?

This is a very nice, handy, simple tutorial on how to do this necessary inner tine smoothing/polishing. I wonder if it's maybe easier to do this inner tine smoothing with the nib removed from the feed and of course out of the section (if friction fit) or out of the plastic screw-in unit that holds nib and feed together. What do you think?
@jacobonfountainpenАй бұрын
Yes you can certainly do it that way too. Just that you can't immediately test it with ink after each stroke.
@farzaadkhaanАй бұрын
You can also put the empty cap for 2-3 minutes in hot water and let it dry and cool down. This shrinks the elastomeric cap lining back to its original dimensions. Do not put the pen back while it is still warm. It should cool down while it is empty. By hot I mean around 70-80 degrees C. Do not boil the cap. It is my personal method. I do not take any responsibility about the consequences.

This repair is not without risk- be careful to have your 'pushing tool' exactly centered to only push on the finial- otherwise the inner cap can tear. (don't ask me how I know!) I used a 3mm hex key as a tool. I used 2 wraps of electrical tape around the inner cap to improve the snap. The pen is back together with improved snap, but I'm guessing the inner cap will fall out at some point as there is nothing holding it in but friction at this point. I might have to glue it in place if it falls out. does anyone offer replacement inner cap components? Lamy doesn't appear to, and I couldn't find anything on Amazon or Aliexpress.

yep i guess having a softer rounder 'pushing tool' would help, like a wooder stick or something of the right size and shape.

Yes they do. In fact I've one sailor pocket pen of the 70s too, it's 18k nib. The construction is more similar to the pilot elite vintage. So the disassembly method of the pilot's one can roughly apply the same to the sailor. Haven't got time around to make the video for the sailor pocket pen yet.

Is it possible to fix the tipping being bent inward or outward? When the tipping looks just like a ladybug with open wings, I mean.
@jacobonfountainpen3 ай бұрын
What you describing I think it's referred to a 'grand canyon' or 'reverse grand canyon' problem. I've never fixed anything like that so far. But I think it's possible. You need to grab the tiny space on the tine and twist them, finger is just not going to be able to grab that small area. So I would imagine a special shaped plier or something will be needed.
@vladcirjan50824 ай бұрын
You cannot imagine how much you've helped me rest, more than anything. As someone with high ocd I couldn't get it out of my head that, after smoothing, there was still a minor scratch from certain positions. I've destroyed nibs trying to get rid of that and no other video than yours mentions it. I did it 10 mins ago to a Conklin nib that I smoothed earlier this day and it turned it into a great writer. I've spent approx 4 hours on this nib today and your video helped me fix it in 2 mins, because it was the inner tines that was messing with everything. God bless you!
