Hi Folks:
I just made my first FP. It turned-out very nice. I used blue and yellow Kyronite blank on a GM Atrax. Anyway, Is there something I should know about the Atrax/Dayacom stock nibs? I know how to use an FP, and have bought several ready-mades, but I don't recall having to apply so much pressure to get the ink to come-out when writing. I also know that using too much "unnatural" pressure will widen the nib and make it unusable to someone who writes with less pressure. I did prime the feeder and twist the piston until two drops are released. Any advice. I have some decent spare nibs if that is what I need to do, but the stock nib should work with much less pressure (I think).
Thanks!
