J.b.’S Perfect Pen Flush : Review

[TXKat]

I know this is an older thread, but I have to weigh in on this great review and this GREAT PRODUCT!!

 

I've been using it with great success on my fountain pens, garnering the large bottle a dark purple color. I tell you this to tell you the next part.

 

Earlier this evening, in the kitchen I filled 4 pens with Iroshizuku Asa-gao ink. None of the pens were leaking. All were put away properly...all was good. ...

 

...until we got home from dinner and I noticed the cats sniffing around 10 or so super dark spots on my pearl colored living room carpet. Yep, you guessed it. INK! (But I'm completely baffled how it got there. ) Anyway, I grabbed the J.B. Perfect Pen Flush and tried it to see what, if anything, could be done. Three rags later and the whole bottle of J.B.'s and there is NO evidence of the ink! (I will check again tomorrow in daylight and hit it again if needed.) This stuff saved me! I don't even have any residue or color transfer (the afore mentioned purple color) from the coloration of the ink already in the bottle when I started.

 

I this stuff! Ordering a new bottle tomorrow! If it will clean my pearl colored carpet with no issues, it will work great for any fountain pen!!

i think I'll write about this, lolol!

Hi all--   I don't think this specific thing was covered in any of the previous posts, but I do have a problem. One of the most beautiful blues I've seen in a long time is Noodler's Baystate Blue. Even after reading of people's love-hate relationship with it, I bought a bottle for my favorite pen (a Lamy 2000) and one of daily writers, a yellow Lamy Safari. Even after very careful washing and prepping so as not to cross-ink, the ink ruined both of them! Bad flow in two pens that were beautiful before--especially the 2000!--, and all sorts of staining of fingers, nibs, barrels, caps... I don't fault the ink and still think it's a beautiful color, but I'm going to have to let it go... :-)   The question: does anyone know--or even think--that this product can help clean up the crime scene? I do need to have the 2000 serviced, since it's a piston pen and is 20 years old this year, but it's now blue-tinted and smudgy looking and the poor Safari is a wreck...but I hate to "just get another pen," even if it's a cheap one!

I've successfully used this product on much older pens without any problems. Sometimes it takes a bit to get the "tough stains out", but it does work. My 2 cents. Good luck! (Love Baystate Blue...color!)

I just received a 4 oz. bottle for my birthday. I think my wife purchased it from Fahrney's in Washington D.C. (via online store), but the label on mine at the bottom says Monomoy Vintage Pen.

Purchased my bottle at Fahrney's, and it also says Monomoy Vintage Pen at the bottom of the lable.

I've used this product many, many times and its great. I first saw it used by Pendleton Brown at a pen show to clean our a very old MB. You can also purchase it from the Andersons.
