No...it is way too thick....0.01 or 0.02 brass shims, if needed....and I've only tried them once....in I didn't need them....having old and broken in pens...........vintage.

It's thicker than a razor blade, and a razor blade is way too thick.

Something that thick will either increase flow to a flood or push the tines so far apart that capillary action doesn't work.
