I made a kitless fountain pen. I have an issue with the nib and I'm wondering if it's normal and if not, how do I fix it?
Basically the pen will write and write and then slowly dry up until no ink comes out. I then have to take it apart and advance the pump a little and it'll be fine for a while until it dries up again. It appears to be like vapor lock. The pump is a Schmidt and it's a Meister nib.
Can anyone help or is this normal for fountain pens?
