How to open a new brush?

1, gently twist the nib with your fingers: twist from the nib to the root, and the bristles need to be completely dispersed.

2. After all brushes are turned on, remove the floating hairs in the nib.

3. Soak the new pen with cold water or warm water, and avoid scalding with boiling water. Put it in a pen wash (or other container), the depth of water should make the pen tip immerse, and the pen tip should not touch the bottom of the container.

4. After soaking the pen, gently clean the pen to remove the glue.

5. After washing, straighten the pen and hang it up.

6. After the brush is completely dry, you can insert the brush into the pen container for storage.

Brush maintenance:

(1) To start a new pen, you must start it first. Soak the bought pen in warm water for not too long until the nib is completely opened. Don't melt the glue at the root of the pen, otherwise it will become a "brush" and your hair will fall off easily. Violets are hard and need to be soaked in water for a while.

(2) Be sure to get the pen wet before writing. It is not allowed to write as soon as the pen is stained with ink. The method is to soak the brush with clear water first, and then lift it. Don't soak it for a long time to avoid gel at the root of the brush. After that, the pen is hung upside down until the tip of the pen regains toughness, which takes about tens of minutes. Pens must be dry when stored. If the pen is not polished, the hair will become brittle and brittle after pressing again, and the elasticity will be poor.

(3) After that, you can start writing, and this "ink entry" is also a big problem. In order to make the ink penetrate into the writing brush evenly, the clear water must be sucked dry first, and the pen can be lightly dragged on the absorbent paper until it is dry. The so-called "dry" is not completely dry, as long as the water is removed to accommodate the ink. "A pen with three points of ink cannot be deeply immersed in it until it is weak." Less ink is too dry to run freely, and more ink is weak and bad.

(4) Wash the pen immediately after writing. Ink has colloid. If it is not washed off, the ink and colloid will stick together firmly after the pen is dried, so it is not easy to melt when it is reused, and it is easy to break the pen.

(5) After washing, drain the remaining water of the pen and straighten it [before inking]. Then hang the pen on the pen holder and let the remaining water continue to drip until it is dry. It should be placed in a cool place and dried in the shade to keep the original shape and characteristics of the pen, and should not be exposed to the sun. The key to keeping pens is drying.
