yes I guess, since tested by the manufacturer or not, you will have to fill the pen yourself. You may need to replace the silicone grease etc after you have washed the pen out to change ink colors etc. As with all things, YMMV. :)

Hehe. Powai is hardly the place to find such things.

 

any idea from where to get it?

This is one shop in Mumbai, in the heart of the hardware market, where it is available.

Next time, call the shop before going, try the number on the visting card and pls dont blame me if the phone is out of order. :) I have no idea about what the neighboring shop sells etc.

 

It is available in a variety of packing sizes which includes a small 50gms jar. I have bought several times and so have some other FPNers in Mumbai. Here is a pic of my jar for your reference. Before you ask, let me answer, it cost me 100rs for the 50gs jar. :)

ok. Actually i told someone to bring it too. If you get it from nearest place buy it for yourself, i will be getting mine soon. If i get two, will keep both with me as one of my friend too wants it.

 

BTW do send / post a scanned photo of visiting card / address of the shop, it will be useful for people who don't want to go to south mumbai

I know about the m-seal stuff but is it good? I heard the m-seal grease becomes like mould or thing?

I am a novice in FP world and this is the first time I am doing an ED conversion. But as far as I know, silicon grease solidifies and become rubbery when it comes in contact of air.

 

But as of now my pen is working fine. No leakage or whatsoever. I haven't use any other silicone grease. So cannot compare with anything else.

      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
