Operation Exterminate Bsb Stains

[amberleadavis]

So, we used the Solv-X ink for two fills and 2 fills with vintage Sheaffer Blue Black. You can't tell that it was ever stained.

Wow

I'm serious, you can't tell it was ever stained.

Does anyone know if current Quink still has solv-X in it? Luckily I do still have an older bottle of blue that says solv-x on the label. But there's little ink left. So I wonder whether I have to keep this tucked away in case I manage to get a stained pen.

No it doesn't. However, bottles of older Quink w/Solv-X do show up on eBay, so keep an eye out for bottles that aren't too expensive.

And one of the new brands out of India contains Solv-X. I did find that the Vintage Sheaffer inks are terrific cleaners.

Yes, I have a small 30-ml bottle of Black with Solv-X. It hasn't really inspired me to great heights yet...

[amberleadavis]

Thanks for the info, David.

[dcwaites]

Do you want it? I'm not using it.

[amberleadavis]

Didn't you send me your last bottle of Blue with Solv-x?

Yes, but I have a 30ml bottle of the new Indian Parker Quink Black w/Solv-X. It came with a pen I bought online.

I use the pen, but not the ink.

Oh, I'll try it and share it with the Pinks.

[dcwaites]

Ok, I will see what I can do.

Would you like a beta sample of Faux Penman Sapphire #10? Made only with the finest Iroshizuku inks? It's a little bit more expensive than FPS #9, which is half water, but it does have those special characteristics that the Iro inks have.

[amberleadavis]

Does it sheen? Oh, and wait, I can make it here, I think. Did you do Asagao and Kon Peki? Or Kon Peki and Mura - drat the purple one.

Inquiring minds want to know!! Have you tried mixing a little Asa-gao into Tsuyu-kusa?

[amberleadavis]

Oh, yeah... tell us, show us.... we'd love see it.

[dcwaites]

FPS #10 Beta - 2 parts Asa-gao, 1 part Kon-peki.

Samples at home. You'll have to wait. Patiently.

[amberleadavis]

See, my guesses weren't too far off.
