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 the link below for step-by-step instructions
on how to adjust and smooth your nibs.
Although the surface of the micromesh might look harmless,
it can easily wear 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
