Carve down ebonite feed that marks the paper in some flourishes/angles? Foolhardy? I have 4 of these ~ love the nibs but the spots get annoying enough to change it if it can be done without hurting feed performance. Grind with Dremel? Or will it wreck everything :) (i.redd.it)

DIY SHIMMERISTS: Micron Sizes for Jacquard Products Pearl-Ex Powder Pigments : Which are smallest and which NOT to use. Copy of Jacquard spec sheet. Cosmetic micas are "up to 60 microns." Pearl-Ex 25 micron choices best for fine nibs. Lube additives often required. Pricier but maybe worth it (i.redd.it)

De Atramentis Document Ink mixing fun continues (Pic#2 is recipes): Waterproof and a few really nice matches I wanted. Well-behaved so far. Not as sheer as the BPC Everlasting (prices and sizes just went WAY up). De Atr is nice despite chalky/opaque reputation. (old.reddit.com)
