FPR pen leaking from the body
(lemmy.world)
The pen started leaking from the body. I have a hard time understanding if it's the converter that is broken or the seal between the converter and the section 🤔
It's not leaking straight away but some days after inking.
Any help would be appreciated 🫶

(It’s not clear to me if this post will reach your notifications on lemmy, but I’ll give it a shot) aside from replacing the converter, you can try dabbing silicone grease on the screw threads where the section attaches to the barrel. This is how pens are waterproofed for eyedropper filling.
It’s not expensive; fountain pen shops sometimes stock it but so do other crafts supply places.
Thank you, I'll give a go at the silicon grease. I should be able to find some from Ebay or something. I will report on the result!
