Hello everyone, I need your knowledge and your expertise.

 

Several months ago aI bougth a chinese zippered case for 40 pens at a very low price on eBay. I bougth it in order to storage my pens. I was very happyt with it

 

But today I have seen that all my loved lamy safaris (limited, discontinued and normal editios) are stained very depply with blue marks that I can't clean.

 

I have tried to clean my pens rubbing with pure bleach and with a fine paint polish (form TAMIYA) that I use for making models.

 

Any recomendation on how to clean my pes? Any other recomendation on a stain-free pen case?

 

Thank everyone for your help and sorry for my english.

Hello Elperraco,

 

Since bleach had no effect; perhaps you should try an acid. Do you have any clear vinegar in the house? The 5% solution like we get in the U.S., I know in Europe, there are stronger solutions available, but do not use those- use the 5% version, like Heinz. Try that, but experiment with it first on one of the run of the mill, standard colors - NOT a limited edition or discontinued one.

 

I'm sorry this happened to you; I hope this helps. :)

 

Best regards,

 

Chris

Thank you, I would try with the vinegar. But I am affraid I would need more drastic solutions, like a strong polishing compound.

 

Hello Elperraco,

 

Well, a strong polishing compound might get rid of the stains, but it may also craze the finish of the pens. Do you have Novus #1, #2 and #3 plastic polishes available in Spain?

 

Best regards,

 

Chris

I would try to find something similar. The shipphing to Spain more than doubles the price of the product. Any other sugestion on a plastic polish?

Sorry, I don't; at least not anything that would remove stains.

Hello Elperraco,

 

I'm really sorry, my friend. :(

 

I wish I had the answer for you; perhaps others here will. Hold on to hope. :)

 

Best regards,

 

Chris

 

PS: My final suggestion would be to contact Lamy directly; they may be able to suggest something.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
