I need to get some fresh talc, have used up what we had here, which wasn't a lot. I figure 2-3 oz will probably last me 50 years. I know it has to be scent-free, just talc, but are there grades? Is there anything else I need to know?

 

Thanks!

Tire talc - NAPA auto parts 16oz $8.49.

Might as well pick up a pair of spark plug terminal pliers for sections while you're there $9.99.

Haha, should have looked here before I went to my local paint-shop and bought 650 grams of it... (No joke, I have a bag of the stuff). Maybe I should start selling..

got some, thanks! As usual, an FPN'er answered the call... And I have a set of terminal pliers, too...took them from my toolbox and moved them to the pen repair box, where they're getting a whole lot more use.

I got mine at my local pharmacy. They use it for something so they always have it. They put it in a medicine bottle and charged me very little (I forget how much).

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
