Oh no! It's quivering! Is it ... alive?

It looks like ... oh my goodness! Did it just wave? Watch out, something's happening...

Do you think I'm mad? Wait, no, don't answer that.

 

Besides, it's a bit late. It escaped and is out there terrorising poor innocent fountain pens with its gelatinous radioactivity. What have I done...

I think I've found a solution to my no-army-for-world-domination problem. Thanks karinh! :thumbup:

Wow. That's scary! :sick:

 

We should ask that this thread be pinned in answer to the question about mixing inks, even in the same series in the same brand. Do it in a container, not in your pen!

I came here for the pictures and stayed for the conversation.

Faaaaantastic!

 

When mixing, my safety kit is orange fish nets under my slacks, and my Scott airpak.

You may choose to do likewise.

 

I am truly impressed that you lived to tell about such a thing.

 

will you be working on room temp nuclear fusion any time soon??

It's life, Jim, but not as we know it.

Yesterday is history.

Tomorrow is a mystery.

Today is a gift.

That's why it's called the present

Just thinking about what would happen if you did that mix inside a nice, expensive LE pen...

Daddy, please no more pens - we need food, clothes, books, DENTISTRY...

When I went to Evil Scientist school, I majored in Orbital Death Ray; I had no idea that this kind of horrifying stuff was going on in the chem lab down the hall!

You people make me laugh (at 06:08 - cat thinks I've lost the plot but whatever) :roflmho:

 

I know better than to mix ink in a pen unless I know it's a safe mix but I truly didn't expect to create life with these two. I guess it's only to expected, considering the names of the inks. I wanted purple highlighter and now I've got this scary ink blob out there somewhere creating havoc in pen boxes and wraps.

 

Funnily enough, Hellfire mixed with a few drops of Nav. Turq. didn't jellify, it only went a teeny bit sedimented. Mind you, the ratios were way different.

 

I shall take all your ideas about safety clothing and future experiments on board and see what type of creature I can invent next. :eureka:

Did you apply for a haz-mat permit before disposing of it?

Were you able to 'put it to sleep', or is it bulletproof?

I caught it slinking around out in the garden this afternoon, half-melting in the rain and hail, so I hurriedly upended a bucket over it whilst I put on my gloves, mask and boots. I sneaked back with the nastiest sprays from the garden shed and, kicking the bucket away while holding a sprayer at the ready in each hand, I gave it a full blast of each spray, not stopping until the containers were empty.

 

I almost felt sorry for it as it squirmed and cried there on its deathbed of damp autumn leaves but then I thought of my lovely pens, and what this thing could do to them. Hardening my heart, I gave it a final spray for good measure. Once it was definitely dead I collected it up with an old spoon and interred it in an old lead-lined casket which I then soldered shut. It is now awaiting collection by the Hazmat team from our local tip.

 

I have warned them what they face and hope that they take due precaution as, even dead, I am not sure what that thing could do.

 

I have learned my lesson, for now...

Huh! It's eaten its way out of the lead casket and it's heading back for revenge. Foolish mortal- did you think that the sprays would do anything except feed it?

Well, you could've just called in an air strike, yes?

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
