Pen Nib Stuck In Lid

[pensandpencils]

I have quite a simple parker pen (I don't know what it's called), and the nib has somehow been jammed in the cap. I have tried soaking it in soapy water overnight, and pulling it out with tweezers - nothing is working! I read that it might work if I freeze it overnight, but I don't want to damage the pen (ink/ water might freeze?). Please help!

A photo would be really helpful, if only to identify the which Parker model you have. I have a hard time imagining how a nib could get stuck like that.

 

If you allow the cap to become completely dry, you should not have any ink/water freezing issues (although I have no idea if freezing will help).

 

The only thing I can think of right now is to mix up some oogoo, coat the nib with some dish soap, stuff the cap with oogoo, let it cure, then pull out the oogoo plug (extracting the nib with it). Do this at your own risk.

Hi, Yes it would be very useful to have a photo of what you are having a problem with.

My photo shows two popular Parker pens, is it one of these? Top is a Jotter, below is a Vector.

When you say the nib has come out, do you mean just the nib, or the nib plus the finger grip section too?

I would say not to put a pen like this into the freezer, any water or ink will expand and could split the pen beyond repair.
