Inner Cap For Canadian Duofold

[brgphilly]

I have been wondering why my Canadian Duofold has a dramatic tendency to dry out. It turns out that the inner cap does not meet the end of the section and I suspect that the resulting gap is the cause of the dry-out. Does anybody know where I can find a replacement inner cap that would meet the end of the section? Alternatively, how can I lengthen the inner cap that I already have?

 

Thank you all,

I apologize for cross posting, but as I mentioned, I could not delete or move this thread of my own acccord. Moderators, sorry for the inconvenience, but feel free to delete this thread.

Thread makes sense here, I feel, as it's a pen problem. I could be wrong but sometimes inner caps don't reach the section? I'd have to double check but I think with some I own they help catch leaks or protect nib from scrapes but don't form a tight seal. Your problem could be limited ink flow and not necessarily literal drying out. As in when you try to write it won't start because there's poor ink flow... I've had that issue,

 

My Canadian Duofold may be a different design than yours... but I know it even has breather holes in the cap so no seal is going to form. Can you post a picture of yours? Does it look like the diagram below?
