How to Take Care of your
Handcrafted Fountain Pen

First Time Setup and Maintenance

  1. Clean the inside of the barrel by running it under clean tap water.
  2. Leave the “Section” soaked in water overnight or for at least 4 hours.
  3. Dry in room temperature.
  4. Apply a small speck of Vaseline to the threads. Make sure that it doesn’t touch the Feed or Nib.

We recommend doing this once a month.

How to fill Ink

i. Hold the barrel vertically up. Use an eyedropper or a syringe to fill ink up to the threads of the barrel (threads inside should be visible).

ii. Screw the grip section halfway back into the barrel of the pen. Do not screw it completely, just enough to seal the pen.

iii. Turn the pen upside down and screw in the rest of the way. A couple of drops of ink should come out of the feed. This ensure that the feed has been primed.

iv. Clean the nib with a soft cloth. Your pen is ready to write!

v. Sprinkle ink out to get the ink flowing

Overflow of ink from the feed is an indication that the ink needs to be refilled.
