    Default Looking For Source[s] Pen Repair Supplies

    I decide to start to re-sac several of my Esterbrooks and possibly additional pens too.I want to assemble a pen repair kit. What should I purchase for repairing pens and sources for tool supplies.
    Thanks in advance.

    I wrote this some time ago so prices and sources will have changed. It's all British, of course, but it will give you a rough idea.

    After reading Deb's article, if you are based in the US you can go to the mother lode at pentooling.com, and also know that suppliers/vendors such as Anderson Pens and Pendemonium also sell the basic tools and supplies. Most any that handle those items usually bundle a basic 're-saccing' kit with the sacs, talc, shellac needed for this kind of repair.

    I also can recommend Indy Pen Dance for supplies and sacs or direct from manufacturer sac orders, pensacs.com

    If you need pressure bars (J, button, etc), pendragons (Etsy; or https://www.vintagepensacsandparts.com) from UK is where I go. Shipping is relatively quick for a pond hop.

    Thanks for the pointer. I have been looking for a reasonably priced nib block for a while, found one at pentooling.com.

    Thanks Deb, I thought it very helpful, and tried to leave a comment, but for some reason it didn't work. (To do with my two Macs not combining passwords I think)

    Thank you both for mentioning these excellent sources. I've used the "mother lode" many times while I was in the US.
