I always hated the Platinum converters. They get sticky, after a while. I had one that actually unscrewed itself, because the piston was so stiff it was easier for the top to unscrew than the piston to move! Fortunately I was only flushing it at the time...
And then someone advised me to strip them down, and add a tiny dab of silicone grease to the seal. I no longer hate and fear the Platinum converter. It made such a big difference and it was such an easy tweak. (Also, a no-risk tweak. You're not going to break anything doing this.)
So...
Do other geeks have their favourite easy little tweaks for particular pens or components?
