I have a Jr. Gent II that I use when I'm reading (lots of reading!) that I use to underline sentences like you might use a highlighter.
I realize that there are a few "highlighter" colors available out there, but I'm wondering if I could thin something like Noodler's a bit, just a tad, to cut down on the intensity of the ink.
I tried this once with water and it seemed to cause a "fuzzy" feel to the nib, assumedly the higher water content was making the paper fuzz up as I was writing.
I am going to experiment with it soon, using isopropyl alcohol-- faster evaporation and perhaps less fuzz.
Any reason NOT to try the alcohol? Anyone know what liquid would be better?
Thanks,
Matt
