Noodler's Blue Ghost

[inkstainedruth]

After awhile the little UV light that came with NBG died and I couldn't figure out how to get it apart to see whether it was the battery or the bulb. So I went looking for a replacement, and spent a bunch of hours looking online doing Google searches -- and then discovered that for roughly $10 US I could get an LED UV flashlight at the Walmart 20 minutes from my house:

And the nice thing about this one is that it takes regular AAA size batteries....

Hi Ruth!

 

That's what I did too!

 

Works great, I've been doing this for about a year and I haven't noticed any fading yet.

I finally got my big bottle of blue ghost in, and i absolutely love it. Don't really like the charlie pen that came with it, as it writes really really dry but it leaks from where the nib connects to the feed.

 

But I went to walmart and bought a $5 clip-on desk lamp, and a $3 blacklight bulb. I have it clipped onto the edge of my bed's headboard, and it's super easy to use. I use the ink to write in my journal.

I’ve had good luck with putting it in a Preppy.

 

And I got my flashlight on amazon for around $10. Wish I’d gone to Walmart.
