Doing your own nib smoothing? Here is the right material for the job.

Sometimes a nib just has a little tooth or a sharp edge that can take away from the smoothness of the writing experience. By running the nib on the Micromesh 12000 in the direction of the scratchy sensation the sharp edge will wear down. See link below for step by step instructions in adjusting and smoothing of nibs.

Although the surface of the micromesh might look harmless it can easily ware down the tipping of your nib. It is quite possible to entirely remove the tipping material with this abrasive. Please use care when working on your nibs. The reason we like this material is that it has a rubberized surface which "rounds up" around the tip, removing sharp corners. For this reason it is better than other flat surface abrasives such as the Arkansas stone or mylar discs, which are sometimes used for this purpose. To read Johns article on smoothing click here
