Of course, saying it's not "pure" copperplate is rather pedantic, as it's much like saying that someone using an english accent is speaking a "truer" english than someone from texas.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By oakalley · Posted

      I have been using Nikonos O-ring grease. It was a tube I had when I was doing underwater photography with a Nikonos IV camera. It is used to grease all the O-rings and seals on the camera body and lens. I would expect that it is OK since it's formulated for camera O-rings and for use in water. One small tube will probably last a lifetime! Probably any Dive shop would have it or comparable, or online as well. Dow Corning Molykote 111 is available on Amazon. The Nikonos is discontinued and any tha

      I've used clear silicone greases labeled for plumbing and diving purposes on pens. All seem to have similar resistance to water and atmospheric exposure, with the level of viscosity being the primary mechanically detectable difference.   I've used these on Sheaffer Snorkel / touchdown filling pens and modern fountain pens to lubricate and enhance the sealing of synthetic rubber and silicone o-rings in filling systems as well as section seals for ED pens. I also used them for

      The MSDS for Molykote 111 states "It is generally resistant to dilute acids and alkalines and to most aqueous solutions."   I would take that as it should not have any issues with 99.99999% of fountain pen inks.

      The grease that I have used for over 15 years, and recommend is Down Corning Molykote 111, and no other.  This is a silicone grease that is recommended for use on 0-rings and is designed to resist washing off. so it is less likely to wash off into your ink.    It is a food grade silicone grease.

      The best lubricating grease that I have found (I use it for assembly of 3D printed items that need lubrication, for food contact items, and for piston fillers (or even barrel or cap threads that are squeaky) is Super Lube brand Silicon Lubricating Grease (PN 92003) A 3oz tube should last you a very long time (it does not take much).     For piston fillers, I run a cotton swab around the cap of the grease tube, then around the inside of the barrel.  Cycle the piston a couple of tim
