Filling Brush Pens?


DarkSymphony

Recommended Posts

Not strictly a FP question, but I hope someone can help me :) In a moment of (in)sanity last night, I ordered myself a Platinum brush pen and a converter. I was wondering if anyone knows how you'd fill one? Immersing the bristles? Filling the converter then putting it in the pen?

 

Thanks in advance :)

Could you post a picture? I use brush pens but was unaware they come refillable also. Or maybe mine are and I don't know.

I don't have that style. Mine are the freebie ones that come in some 4-1/2 oz. bottles of Noodler's inks, and are eyedroppers. I pulled the brush and feed units and just filled the pens. It did take a little while for the ink to soak through to the brush tip, but then they were fine.

BTW -- they make great highlighter pens: I have three of them and they are filled with different colors of the Noodler's highlighter inks (Dragon Catfish Pink, Georgia Peach, and Lightning Blue).

it is extremely wet and be careful swinging toward and away from paper. I had one but I gave it to my girlfriend since shes a brooding artist.

 

I inked my desk a few times with blots. Maybe I was overly zealous about using it

So we left it at that. He showed us the maneuver after a sort. B*****d stole my kill.'
