Sheaffer Heritage Legacy Clogged

[Sheaffer lover]

have got Sheaffer Legacy Heritage with inlaid nib. I was using Sheaffer cartridge. I didn't use my pen for about 1/2 months. Now it is clogged. I have rinsed it under tap,washed with lukewarm water,dipped in warm water for couple of nights. Some remnants of dried ink did come out. But it is still skipping and then not writing. I have injected and ejected water about hundred times but no effect. Pls help.

Try soaking the nib section overnight in a 10% household ammonia/90% water solution.

Sheaffer blocked ! !

Patience is needed. It took time for the ink to dry, it will take time for it to dissolve.

Thnx. adyf. But what bothers me is that colour of the gold nib may fade away with ammonia.

And Jar, my dear u are right. It is really unnerving me now. I fear lest I may do something improper and damage the pen....

If you are worried about the effect that the Ammonia solution may have, just soak you pen in a cup full of plain distilled water. Or use water out of a Brita filter or any sort of filtered water.

So, where is Pakistan are you from? I have relatives in Lahore and Bhawalpur.

Thnx. Dear. I did rinsing through water. I did put it in a distiller cup of water but it is still clogging. However it is better now. Initially it did not at all write, but now it writes a bit but then skips and then drives. I feel ink is not coming through. Presently I m at Islamabad. I remained posted at Lhr for two years and travelled to Bwp while my posting at Multan. Where r u from ?
