Wondering what's the right way to fill a button filler, as in how many times do I push the button and how fast or slow? Received a beautiful old Thrift Time button filler; the button springs freely and I can hear the pressure bar moving when I push the button but I didn't want to force the pen open to inspect the sac so I don't know its condition. So I thought I would try filling the pen with plain water to test it. When I dipped the nib into the cup of water and pushed the button a couple of times, much to my surprise green ink came out (I had run the dry nib over my fingertip and on paper too, to gauge its smoothness and no ink had come out then.) I couldn't tell if it was maybe just dried ink on the feed or some in the sac that was reconstituted with the water drawn up. So, I took it to work and used it for a couple of hours (very light use) before it ran dry. I have repeated the process today, this time with the object of fully flushing the pen to put in new ink. I'm not sure, though, of the proper way to operate the filler. I'm assuming I just immerse the nib completely in the ink and push the button several times but rapid pushes or more push and wait, push and wait? It doesn't seem to be pulling in a lot of liquid now. When I fill it with several pushes then hold it against a paper towel and push the button a few times, I get a large wet spot then 2or 3 smaller ones then nothing, which doesn't seem like a lot. No liquid comes out of the back of the pen (at the button), btw. Thanks in advance for any advice/tips/pointers.
