My Pilot Penmanship Burped...

So I was using my Penmanship with Perle Noire and thinking I was finally getting used to its extra fine nib, particularly with this ink... And with my luck of course at that very moment the !!! thing decides to burp a big drop of ink on the page. I was transcribing some notes onto a Claiefontaine notebook, it was so much ink it went through the page and stained the one behind it before I could say "where's that blotting paper?".

 

I have to confess I was playing with it, turning the pen while holding the cap, although it didn't screw off completely. Might that have caused it? Why?

The change in air pressure when you turned it? that could have drawn out the 'burp'?

 

Take your notes around the blot or draw an illustration that incorporates the blot....makes that journal more interesting!

I'm guessing that was it... Only my Kaweco Sport had ever done that, probably explained by its infamous converter... That will teach me to stop playing with the pens...

Well it did it again :wallbash: ... From what I've read it might be the con-50 converter... I wasn't fidling with the cap this time. I'm going to try to take it apart and try again... The converter does seem to require some force to get in, don't know if that makes any difference. Counting to 1 starting from 100, slowly...

Burping can definitely result from an air leak at the converter or from the converter not being seated fully.

These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value.--Thomas Paine, "The American Crisis", 1776
