    hi guys (dont know if this goes in the right forum section...)

    i have a bit of a problem with my pen ink (see picture below)


    the problem is that the ink is stuck in a certain section and wont come down to the tip part, ive already tried a few methods to try bring the ink down like keeping the ink tube up in a vertical direction and leaving it like that for a few days which didnt really help only came down by 0.1cm after like 3 days i think.
    ive also tried using a hair dry to heat up the tube whilist im holding it vertically this only made the ink rise >.>
    so does anyone have any ways to bring the ink down, and no i do not want to buy a new ink refill or pen dry.gif

    Use a "thin" toothpick or skewer something similair, and push the ink forward. =]! w/y

    remove the tip then let the ink fall a bit then put the tip bak in till it's all down

    1) pull the tip out
    2) blow from the other end
    3) when ink reaches the "tip" end, insert the tip back
    4) write with joy

    i much rather blow the ink than to wait it "fall by gravity".

    Make sure you point it at someone you hate while blowing it.

    I guess rsvp inktubes are kind of rare in Australia? Honestly I would just throw that one out and get another via trade.

    hasnt anyone taught you guiez the ligher method?

    basically, take a small compact lighter, and heat up the ink.
    dont keep it there too long or itll melt the plastic.
    gently motion it towards the tip.

    this method also works when your ink doesnt want to go to the tip

    just throw it out like nacho said, but if it is an rsvp inktube, papermate kilometrico inktubes are virtually the same, except longer... and a hell of a lot cheaper
