Nice to have found the forum. I have been interested in pens for a few years, but not on a level I wish to reach, or one comparable with y'all. Have a small collection of pens, but just learning, really. Have none of the gorgeous pens I see here on the forum, with the most beautiful macro photos. But . .. hope to get started. Would appreciate advice on restarting inflow in a few pens owned by my spouse, who hasn't used them in years....it's frustrating to try to figure out how to solve the hesitating flow of some of our favorites, after they sit for a while. Guess I will learn this by researching topics on care of pens here in the forum. Thanks to all. . .

 

In celebration of the handwritten word,

 

Joe

Welcome !

 

If your wife has fountain pens, that haven't been used for years, were they stored with ink in them ? If so, they are likely seized up. DON'T FORCE ANYTHING ! Give more details.

Welcome to FPN! You'll find that patience and water will be your friend in cleaning out the old dried ink. Don't force or push anything, and you'll find many experts here that will help you get through the effort of cleaning those pens.

Welcome home. When you pull up your stump put it near the crick so you can be comfy while flushing those pens.
