Kultur Soft Question

[pajaro]

My Kulturs are mostly non-starters in spite of nib adjustments and flushing and flossing. What has worked with some other non-starting C/C pens has been to remove the converter and use a cartridge. I don't know yet if the benefit of using the cartridge extends to the time after the factory fill has been used and I refill the cartridge. There might be magic in the factory ink.

Climate Change. We seem to be blaming all other failures on it.

Can you link to that vid? I just looked and can't find it. I'd like to try that.

Part Three:

 

For mine I just flushed the pen thoroughly, separated the tines just a tiny little bit, cleaned the slit with a post-it and used a really-fine-grain wet sandpaper with grit close to mylar to soften it. I didn't use the brass sheet because it's really difficult to get one here in Mexico.

Mine used to be a hard starter and skipper with any ink, even with the long Waterman cartridges I originally bought for it. So far I've only tested blue Skript ink from Sheaffer in a converter and short int'l cartridges from Inoxcrom, The Sheaffer is the dryest ink I have but worked great, the Inoxcrom is comparable to Waterman inks in wetness, I'd say a little bit "greasy" which is just how I like an ink to behave.

 

Peace.
