Hey Nick, perhaps you can search it in tokopedia. I saw a few sellers that sell silicone grease

Just wanna share something to you guys. for those looking for a fountain pen friendly , simple looking and affordable notebook indonesia, you can grab the front notebooks from gramedia , it costs just around 20000++ for the a6 one (154 pages) , 36000 for the a5 one (96 pages) and the 154 sheets a5 notebook cost around 46000 if i remember correctly, it's a really nice notebook honestly , no feathering, no bleedthrough, smooth and looks kinda professional and easily found in indonesia. But the paper smells kinda funny though...

this is the exact notebook that I use for meeting

but I don't really like the bigger one because the paper is thinner than this (I think), and it's more expensive too

@jeremychris

 

yeah someone in the forum have used the brand they sell @ tokopedia and have bad result. they stick due to the compound in them.

i'm guessing they are not 100% silicone grease?

 

any other idea?

 

 

Cheers

Wah itu belum di cek. Mungkin aja ada. Di sini Pelikan Signum cuma 25000 loh... FP berkelas paling murah saya yg saya punya.

Hi all, I'm new here and from Surabaya. Have been use FP for around 1 year, and I love it. Glad to find community in Indonesia. It's so hard to find FP variety in Indonesia... Same with Wendywu, I'm looking for a flex pen, where I can find it in Surabaya? Some shops I know are TGA and Gramedia don't sell it.

 

Cheers,

too bad i live in batam i'll try to ask them directly hope they can ship it to batam. how much did you pay?

[nickoooooo]

tried to ask some dive shop/services and they don't have it. maybe i just should buy it in singapore if i go there hehe. so,what pen did you use to greased? did you manage to open the piston filler? i own pelikan m250 that have a ink residue inbetween the piston and the thread. i am scared to open it so i just let it be haha

[nickoooooo]

Yeah i had to ask a few shops before locating one.

 

I used it on my m1005 demonstrator. Yeah opened up the piston. Dismantled everything, soaked it for a few days. Still have a little residue on it, but doesnt bother me too much.

 

It's pretty easy to dismantle. The golden rule is not to force anything. Everything is fitted nicely.

[penacoba]

Hi Everyone, I'm new to this forum,didn't expect there are a Fountain Pen Forum with Indonesian members... so i guess i should say Hello and Introduce my self, I'm a Lamy fan, well my first 2 FPs are Lamy's (Safari, Dialog 3 (Schwarz)), and currently is a college student.

 

So, hi from Jakarta I guess

Btw, anyone here ever ordered any Pens from abroad? (Amazon or other websites) because I'm trying to order a Waterman Perspective and a Lamy 2000 from amazon, but the Customs (bea cukai) situation in Indonesia is really Unclear and i don't want to get an extra 1 Million in tax for these already expensive pens.

 

So, anyone who have ordered a pen From amazon or from other websites, do you have any trouble with Indonesian customs or not?
