Re: Pens and Pen Holder
To make your nibs smoother you would need to use 12,000 grit micro mesh but I find that the smoothing side of a nib smoothing board is better for a last polishing smoothness. Especially if the nib smoothing board has been well used.
I have all grit sizes of micro mesh but very rarely use less than 12,000 grit on a nib tip.

Re: Pens and Pen Holder
Thank you Chrissy. Looks like I have a cyber road trip to find a smoothing board. Any suggestions to fill the 6th hole?

Re: Pens and Pen Holder
thank you sgphoto. good videos. after watching I am glad I am been very conservative with my polishing and have use well worn micromesh. I did watch a couple of videos on nib tuning before tackling the jobs and fortunately I have a good loupe and good nibs to begin with. looks like 12000 is a must.

Re: Pens and Pen Holder
There are several sources for the nib board or nib buff stick. Indy-Pen-Dance sells them but there are other sources. Be careful to not make any flat spots on your nib tines.
