Smooth your own nibs. Nib smoothing isn’t for everyone, but if you want to try it, you need very fine abrasives. I use these films, which are designed for the fiber-optics industry, and I consider them to be the very best product available for smoothing nibs. Our Basic Kit includes two Mylar sheets and a small piece of 0.002" sheet brass for flossing nib slits and the ink fissures in feeds. Our Student Kit includes the Basic Kit plus two inexpensive cartridge/converter pens to practice with. Go here for more information and to purchase a kit.
