On ebonite, something else than silicone grease: are animal fats and beeswax safe?
SimonGuitton posted a topic in Repair Q&A
Hello folks, One of my pleasures in using old pens, is that I can do so without calling on modern industrial activity that is making Earth inhabitable. Second-hand pen, second-hand ink, and I can write without having given a cent of encouragement or means for modern companies to produce... -

Hi, I just got the new barrel for my TWSBI Diamond 540, but unfortunately my wife threw out the package with the silicone grease and tool.
