@axialix Very nice handwriting you've got there! Am I gathering correctly that art is more than just a hobby for you?

I really appreciate the compliment, but it is just a hobby and still very much a work in progress.

It's been 3 days and not a peep, although I did send it to their general info mailbox. I will try again directly to Tyler.

 

I've read some of the reviews on Goulet Pens. There's a majority that state using the ink isn't worth the clean up. I think everyone hears the sheen hype, buys a bottle, uses and loves it, then later realizes what a mess it makes and vows never again; Mountain of Ink for example. I wonder how many repeat bottle buyers there are. Not trying to diss the ink or the company, I've just been very annoyed by this problem. I should say too that I'm not suggesting any company change their ink formula. What IMO would be most effective is a spray that doesn't alter the look of the ink but seals the dust to the paper. I even tried some 3M spray adhesive - pretty much super glue in a can - without success.
