Yeah don't break the tip. The tip of my pen got broken in an accident and it broke my heart because it was a gift from my grandma. I still have it I just can't use it because the way it scrapes now is just bad for my sensory issues
@@aniqua_2417 it looks like first they were passive aggressive, then the artist replied nicely and then they(the commenter) were nice too, and then you jumped on the smile train. And then someone (me) explained and also jumped on the smile train :)
In my work place we have glass pens ( fun fact in French it’s called a glass feather ( plume de ver ))and sometimes we demonstrate how it works and because we use a natural ink( one of my coworkers makes it ) we actually just wash it in water ( under the tab and let the water run on it ) so I was a bit surprised when you used some glass cleaner but I guess it makes sense lol
I cannot believe I've been spending the past 5+ years cleaning glass pens with a toothpick and tissues to get it perfectly clean when this was always an option. It just never clicked that glass cleaner would clean a glass pen just as well as a glass window
I got a pretty good one for about 10 or 20 dollars on Amazon. I'm pretty clumsy too, I've even dropped it a few times, it's more or less okay and still writes/draws good
I saw this while ago, and I thought it was cool! I got a glass pen today, and the glass cleaner does work. Water seems to work too. It’s been fun trying out the glass pen for the first time!
I love the design of your nails. I have younger kids so unfortunately the pen would get broken. I can't wait until my basement is finished then I can have my craft room.
THATS SO COOL! 🤩 i’ve been begging my parents to buy me a glass dip pen since last year, but they are too expensive, and i can only draw with pencil and pen and i have never been able to color my art because for some reason i always hate the way it looks because idk how ro blend and shade colors correctly so im kind of scared if i did get a glass dip pen because i wouldn’t know how to use it correctly
Something else with this specific model of glass pen is that if it's having trouble putting down ink, try rotating it a little. I saw a short breaking down the mechanics of a similar one, and the grooves on that pen each worked like the cartridges in ball point pens, and only one groove is releasing ink at any one time, like some quirk of how gravity acts on the ink or the ink needs to be wicked off into the paper like the towel wiping off the cleaned pen in this demonstration. Also, if more than just the tip of your pen needs this cleaning and there's some significant shatter protection, like the pen's made out of the same sapphire as high-end watch glass, then putting it into an ultrasonic cleaning basin, one designed for either watches or eye glasses might be a big help, as this would bombard all the dirt and grime on whatever you put into it and many watchsmiths will put the pieces in there for cleaning of the outermost surfaces where hand tools simply can't reach, like in between individual links in a chain wristband.
Just me or my first thought when she poured the glass cleaner was “That looks nice and drinkable-“ Edit: How the f did I get 3k likes- Stop liking this lol
I can be dipped in ink which makes it reusable and more environmentally friendly, and it doesn't require any pressure, which makes it better for your hands and doesn't cause as much cramping from extended use.
Wow I never even heard of a glass pen in my life that is pretty awesome and when I see your videos like wow I got to get me a glass pen someday all three of my kids can draw really well during artists my kids love to draw and color with crayons awesome video
Fountain pens are certainly something to clean, it took me hours (and yes i made sure EVERYTHING was dry, i used rubbing alcohol multiple times at the end to make sure i didnt have water in the tip, pushed it through with the ink well)
Do you need to pour so much for a single clean? Is that jar for multiple use? Wouldn't it work just as well to pour a little on a cleaning cloth or tissue and wipe the ink off. Genuinely asking.
Oh wow. Who knew it was so difficult. Next can you show me a video on how to wash my hands or butter bread? You know just really break down the most basic of stuff for me.
