    - Do NOT try smoothing, not with micromesh or anything else that is advertised to take tiny pieces off the tipping material. Follow Ron's advice, and save a $500 nib unit.


    Did you watch the videos? What's your disagreement with watch you viewed?

    Maybe he should send his pens out to have a professional ink it as well. Know of anyone who can professionally take the cap off? Maybe he should leave the pen alone in a desk drawer rather than tempt the Pen Gods with the loss of his immortal soul? Or hire a nib meister to live at his house in case he wants to look at his pens but only under strict supervision?

    Such Gloom and Doom! Jesus Christ.
