Re: Sticker Residue on Pilot Custom 823 Cap
Hey! If this keeps up "Sticker Residue on Pilot Custom 823 Cap" will be Number 1 in the threads most viewed! Let's make it happen! Because this is such an important thread!
Show me a shiny blue fountain pen and I will probably buy it.

I have samples of acrylic, cellulose acetate, polystyrene, Noodler's "vegetal resin", and perhaps some others. You can request a test similar to the one I did before on any of them, if you like (though the acrylic and polystyrene should be quite dull, insofar as these two plastics have reasonable alcohol resistance, or so I am led to believe). Perhaps more useful would be to test a citrus degreaser on them. I don't have any original Goo Gone at hand, but I do have some citrus degreaser I use do degrease bicycle parts. I won't be home until later today, however, so the results will not be immediate.

Apropos of absolutely nothing: Two of the greatest tragedies of our time are undiagnosed mental illness, and cases where the mentally ill refuse to consistently take their medication.
I've heard of so many instances where wrenching, tragic interventions were required before truly beautiful people were able to get the help they needed, transforming them into the gorgeous butterflies they were meant to be.

Online arguments are a lot like the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
As soon as the audience begins to participate, any actual content is lost in the resulting chaos and cacophony.
At that point, all you can do is laugh and enjoy the descent into debasement.

[QUOTE=Special K;136462]Greg beat me to it but I think we may need to adjust the meds...
Has anyone tried Goo Gone on a forum board?

Sticker Residue on Pilot Custom 823 Cap
This is probably going to draw some laughs and chuckles. That's cool, I got it coming. I won't say much because the more I do, others can just use it trash me. I've been hostile and rude towards a whole lot of people, over something silly, that wasn't necessary. I'm sorry for my behavior, on so many levels. This is embarrassing but I have to do it. I know that folks aren't going to be knocking down doors to be my buddy. I owe this apology and I mean it.
I'll add alittle more to this. If you respond to a comment I make, the world is not coming to an end if you really do believe that I'm just a troll that knows nothing about fountain pens, your welcomed to make me show mine against yours. Same goes for inks, notebooks and. Various accessories. When I apologized, I meant it. What disturbs me, if I said something very nasty to someone, they certainly respond. On the other hand if say something that is very helpful, no one will respond. That's just some food for thought. Even to this day, I'm reading posts that are asking how to ignore this, that? And the other thing. MHosea, I especially need to thank you for accepting my apology. I purposefully tried to be nasty to you, and you accepted my apology. Thank you very much. No, I'm not coming to hug it out. Just wanted to it

Re: Sticker Residue on Pilot Custom 823 Cap
Just read this on the Facebook FPN, thought some of you might find it amusing . . . or not.
"If you ever have an old pend [sic] that will not draw ink/write, first unscrew the barrel, then remove the ink cartridge/converter.
Then, put just a small drop of googone into the bottom of the nib piece and finally soak it in water with a small amount of Murphy's Oil Soap.
After a few hours of soaking, throughly rinse the nib/top out in running water, dry, and blow out any excess water from inside, refill with ink, and write away!!!"
Show me a shiny blue fountain pen and I will probably buy it.

I prefer soaking gunked up nibs in aqua regia. Solves all your pen problems.

.!? Please do not try this. (I know you were kidding.)

Re: Sticker Residue on Pilot Custom 823 Cap
I remember that. My initial reaction was that it was crazy, but after I thought about it more, I realized that it isn't as crazy as it sounds. Sometimes pens don't write because of oily residue on the feed, and ammonia and and dish soap might not be sufficient. Also, India ink has sometimes been used. We have stuff for that, e.g. Rapido-Eze, and I've had to use naphtha on some new feeds before they would conduct ink properly. Goo Gone is probably capable of the same effects. I'd be loathe to use it with the pen assembled, personally, as it may loosen things like a feed cup that might have been bonded with a glue that won't stand up to Goo Gone, but using only "a small drop" provides some insurance against that, probably limiting the Goo Gone to the capillary path. Murphy Oil Soap contains no oil, of course, and it's purportedly pretty good at dissolving water-based ink, so that takes out dried ink and presumably the residue of Goo Gone. Yes, I imagine it would work rather reliably to get a gunked up c/c pen from the last few decades back in service.

Oh sure, now you tell me. I hope my Pilot Custom 823 is okay after soaking in it all night!
