What Is That Grip That Sbrebrown Uses To Pull Stuck Friction-Set Nibs?

[katerchen]

I'm guessing it's a variation on this:

 

http://www.amazon.com/Easy-Grip-Natural-Rubber-Jar-Opener/dp/B008W052RQ/

 

or maybe this:

 

http://www.amazon.com/Duck-1100731-Non-Adhesive-12-Inch-20-Feet/dp/B002AS9NAI/ (although I abhor the concept of buying 20 feet of the stuff when I only need two squares for my toolbox )

 

Just want to make sure that I get something of good quality, because the last thing I want to happen is smearing rubber all over my nibs from a poorly formulated rubber compound.

 

Thanks in advance,

$1.95, or you can just get a jar opener.

Go to Wal-Mart or Target and get a roll of the non-slip shelf liners. $2 for more than you'll ever need. I use it to line tool-box drawers.

I use one of those cloths that come in a watch box. Almost like a chamois, only smaller. I had a spare.

I use a rubber balloon. it provides sufficient grip.

I use the Goulet grip. After soaking my Waterman Phileas section in water overnight, then zapping it for 15 minutes in the ultrasonic bath, That was what I put around the nib so I could grip it with my pliers to pull out the nib and feed. It worked on both of my pens.
