I bought this pen to celebrate our 25th anniversary. The only problem was hard starts due to drying out, which by many has been blamed on the cap not sealing properly. I have heard some suggest dripping wax or epoxy into the cap, but I was hesitant to do that. Instead, I cut the tip of a latex glove finger and stretched it over the nib and replaced the cap. Even after many hours the pen would put ink to paper immediately. So, I decided to stuff the latex finger tip down into the cap to see what would happen. Surprisingly, the nib did not dry out even after a day of non use. It did require one downstroke to get ink flow, but after that it wrote flawlessly.

This seems to be a viable solution, so I will defer the dripping of shellac or wax into the cap. Blowing into the cap still indicates a smaller air leak, but since the pen starts almost immediately I think I will live with this solution for a while.
How have others addressed this problem?
