Just had a slimline pen refill leak, luckily it was on the first pen I turned which the wife had. Had to clean the inside out and luckily never stained the wood.
Kind of got me thinking, as people get more experienced with pen making, do you turn away from the cheaper pen kits, the ones with the thin screw in ink refill and go for the dearer kits with the Parker style refills?
Or just a mixture of both type of kits.

Over time you will find your trusted suppliers and that will hopefully lead to better quality....
Mine are Beaufort ink, Penkitzandbitz, Taylors Mirfield and Axminster...I also import a few bits from the US as required :bwink:
