    Exclamation RESOLVED: straightening tines...

    On one of the nibs I'm practicing on, I reduced the legs of the tines slightly when I reduced the tip to an "EF" size.

    This has somehow caused the legs of the tines to have a "bowed" effect. I am not certain how to gently get rid of this effect without snapping the tips of the tines off.

    Do you have any recommendations?
    I considered lifting each tine separately and gently bending the tip of it out ever so slightly, then after each is done...cross the legs of the nib to bring the overall gap between the tines down to normal.

    I only seek to perform this to reduce the flow of ink in the nib...it's soooooooo juicy it's crazy!

    TIA
