I don't want to discourage people but please do not take risk working on vintage especially celluloid pens, the guy is so skilled, you don't want to see bubbles popping up after glue use. Besides that, nobody should experience a crack sound while disassembly of such vintage beauty.

@MSPens 7 ай бұрын

Yes, you're right, you have to know exactly what you're doing with antique celluloid writing instruments. The sound of such an antique masterpiece breaking will haunt you for a long time. 🥲

Goodness gracious! Sir, your talent knows no bounds! WOW! It is massively satisfying watching you bring these old writing instruments back from the brink….truly excellent work! Where are you based?

Impressive work, thanks for showing it to us. May I ask what type of adhesive you used to repair the cracked cap lip?

@MSPens 8 ай бұрын

Hi, it's a mixture of celluloid (from defective fountain pen parts) and acetone.

So well done, I learned a lot especially repairing the chipped piece. Question: what grit was the blue-backed sandpaper? Thank you.

@MSPens Жыл бұрын

Hi, thanks for the comment. The blue sandpaper I used on the cap piece was 1500 grit paper. I just wanted to remove any glue residue and slightly roughen the surface.

Unbelievable work, very impressive! What kind of glue did you use for the broken cap lip? Thank you!

@MSPens Жыл бұрын

Hello, thank you for the nice comment. I use a mixture of celluloid and acetone to close the crack. Unfortunately, simple glue does not work.

@@MSPens Do you make it yourself, or is it something you buy?

@MSPens Жыл бұрын

@@watster Hi, I made it myself. Simply dissolve a few celluloid parts that cannot be repaired in acetone. Wait a little and add acetone until the desired consistency is reached.

@watster Жыл бұрын

What kind of sandpaper and what kind of wheel on the dremmel? Also did the dremmel wheel have a polish?

@MSPens 10 ай бұрын

I use 2000-3000 grit sandpaper and on the Dremel I use a soft polishing attachment with a firm polishing compound.

@vinamis 10 ай бұрын

One or two more questions: what polishing paste do you use? and are these official tools or in-house tools?

@MSPens 10 ай бұрын

I cannot name the manufacturer of the polishing paste. In any case, it is a very fine one for the very last polish. I made the tools myself, but most of them are modeled on the tools used by Montblanc.

Wonderful work! One question: How did the nib/feed assembly squeeze so easily back in when it took knocking out in the first place? Was there any lubrication involved?

@MSPens 24 күн бұрын

Hi, I have not used any lubricant. After the intense cleaning, it was much easier to put it back in. The feed was so stuck because of the old/dried ink.

@@MSPens thank you very much sir. I know I’m asking for too much, but would it be possible for you to specify the amount of acetone and parts used. I’m just trying to make sure I don’t mix up insufficient amounts. 🙏🏿

@ovebjrnson3753 Жыл бұрын

Impressive. It seems that you are using only one wet/dry paper before poishing. What is your preferred grit for this?

@MSPens Жыл бұрын

In this case I used 2000 and 2500 grit sandpaper. Depending on the fountain pen, I also start with 1000 grit sandpaper and go up to 3000 grit. It depends on the part to be worked on.

@ovebjrnson3753 Жыл бұрын

@@MSPens Thank you. It's the same as I use myself. I go up to 7000, but then again, I do the polishing by hand.

@MSPens Жыл бұрын

Sanding up to a 7000 grit is also a very good way to get rid of any small micro scratches. I also have 5000 and 7000 grit sandpaper, but have rarely used it.

@snowdoggieii 10 ай бұрын

Nice fix, how much did you charge for all that?

@MSPens 10 ай бұрын

Hello, I carried out this repair for myself. Otherwise, such a repair costs between €100 and €200 on average. Depending on what needs to be done.
