Anyone else experience this? I've done nothing to the ink other than not use it for a few months. No word yet back from the guy who makes them (I've forgotten his name).

Feed it and see if it grows.

If you think it's something, it probably is.

Organics Studio ink is well...."organic." Hence no biocide like "any decent ink."
A FP friend advised me he always adds phenol to Organics Studio inks when he buys them because of the possibility of this sort of thing happening.
I fear you have lost this bottle. Maybe you should wait and see what your guy at OS says?

On second thought, I wouldn't mess with it. These things can have unpleasant surprises.

I would be interested to know if you ever heard back from the OS guy about your ink?

Thanks for reminding me about this topic! I did contact him, via facebook messenger (the only available means of communicating I could find), but, weeks later, have received no response. I guess I should try again.
Funnily enough today I got tired of staring at the stuff and poured it down the sink at my dorm. Almost went across the street to the lab to attempt a DNA extraction out of curiosity, but decided I had little scientific reason to do so.

Thatīs one of the possible problems with this 1 man show ink designers.....no customer suport.
No response on a direct question is more than poor for somebody who want to sell us his stuff.
These inks are not commonly available in Europe so Iīve not a high chance to run into the embarrassing situation of buying one of these.
But reports like this for sure would prevent me to do so.
Not because there was something wrong with the ink, but because of ignoring a customers contact request.
I hate something like that.

I can forgive a mistake in production, but the silent treatment? That's it for me.
Sadly, I've had a similar experience, and posted about it here

It seems strange to me too. Maybe not what he's going for?
I had to buy my phenol while I was in the US, then risk bringing this dangerous chemical back to the UK with me in my suitcase.
We made it home without a disaster, so I've since used it in my bottle of Organics Studio ink.

OS has a couple of inks I'd like to try. I do have phenol, but I don't like the way he ignores customer problems. So far I have resisted buying any. I have heard of too many issues such as this. That is a shame because they do have a few lovely inks.
I've heard from a friend that he has also ignored her customer service type problems and that's very sad. As a result of those problems my friend couldn't recommend his ink to me, and I assume other fountain pen users.
There was a particular ink I wanted and I now have it. After all, I had already bought the phenol, so I thought I may as well buy the ink that I intend to treat with it. I would think twice abut buying other inks from this range though.
