I keep one of those miniature Sheaffer Skrip bottles full of water on my
desk, and just give the dried-out nib a quick dip, then dry it on blotting
paper.

Subject: Thanks for letting me vent and a new question.
To all my friends on the Zoss list and fptalk. Thanks for letting me vent
and confirming what I suspected (onus is on shipper). I still think that
half-hearted "we're sorry" from the USPS is a slap in the face but that's my
issue to wrestle with.
On to a more mundane pen-related topic: Occassionally some time will elapse
between one of my inked FPs going into rotation and despite a full converter
or cart there is a problem starting the ink flowing again.
What methods do you use to start ink flowing again?
I myself prefer to take some water and either wet down a napkin or tissue
and gently place the nib in the dampened tissue/napkin until the ink starts
flowing again. Sometimes I may use an alcohol pad which opens up a more
stubborn or clogged nib. Last resort is to squeeze the cartridge to force
some ink into the nib.
Thanks,
- Dan D.
