I have a bottle of Noodler's "heart of darkness" ink that I had filled one of my inkwells with about 2 oz's of. I opened it the other day and found that the entire underside of the lid (turned maple, finished with renwax) was kind of fuzzy with a copper green patina, and there were clumps of the same green fuzz floating in the ink pool in the well.
It doesn't seem to effect the performance of the ink, after I had cleaned it out with a q-tip and filled my pen, but struck me as odd. I guess I'll turn myself a new stopper and finish the base with ca, or maybe cast myself up a blank and turn a stopper out of PR and see if it still gets fuzzy.
Any ideas why or how to prevent in the future appreciated.
