.... Get a blocked fountain nib flowing freely again?
Not a trick question, but I'd be interested in any tips on how to clean them.

Never done it for a long time but I used to unscrew the nib assembly and wash it under the tap and then dry it and reassemble !!!
Done one the other day exactly as Terry explained. I used the hot water tap !
