  • A quick 3-minute tutorial on cleaning fountain pens. I'm using Pilot Kakuno here as an example, but this would work on other pens too.

    Do you use warm water or room temp for cleaning and soaking? Thanks for making this video for beginners like me !

      Glad you like it! I use Room temperature water just in case so the plastic or ink doesn’t react weirdly to the hot water

    won't the new ink be diluted when you again put the new cartrige? does it dry?

    • @penpalaver

      Good point. If you keep the parts assembled there will be some water left between the feeder and the section part and it will dilute some of the ink. Usually I write a few random sentences till the ink is back to the full saturation or I'll let the parts dry or dampen it with a paper towel

    How long do i soak it in the water for.

    • @penpalaver
      @penpalaver  2 місяці тому

      Depends on the amount of ink that's left inside. Usually you can wait till the water in the container loses transparency
