Ink Removal
|
||
|
We have been asked on several
occasions to remove ink from wood pens. This OMAS Krug had been
soaked in ink at the cap top, where the clip came out, the lower
lip as well as the section end of the barrel.

Although it took more than a week to finish
the process, we were able mostly to remove this persistent ink.
The blue masking protected the metal parts. We had to balance
the removal of liquid ink that had dried in the grain using
liquids without expanding the wood.

| We finished the process with a coat of archival wax, which makes future ink spills less damaging. | ||
