Then you sit down to write and that pen, you know, is not that far from your schnozzle. You start to write, sniff a little, scribble a little more.... then you are just like

Not Shellack, & not inky smells like phenol ...
but your pen smells like ... well, it smells funky. Somehow.
is there a cure for smelly pen short of breaking down the pen, cleaning and soaking it and reassembling it?
