Having just gotten the Goulet Pen flush, syringe and blower, how best to clean and refill a piston filled pen? I know how to use the cleaning stuff with the twist converters, but I have several piston types where I cant see the contents of the barrel or inkwell.

Is there a secret to avoiding inky hands at the end of the work day?

I have had a Nemosine fountain pen for quite a while and want to order another one. Do you have any plans to carry this brand in the near future?

4) Leslie I.- Facebook (16:40):
Will you be carrying the Midori Traveler's Notebook Army Edition?

How does one fill an aerometric/sac filling pen? I recently got an inexpensive Jinhao that is an aero filler and I can't figure it out. Help me, Goulet Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope!

If a screw-on cap on a plastic pen becomes difficult (impossible) to twist, is there a lubricant you suggest?

7) Cara E.- Facebook (24:23):
When will you have more Konrad flex pens in stock? Tahitian tortoise color in particular. This will help me decide whether to wait or get my second favorite color. Thanks!

Which pen would you recommend as a starting one in "nice"(~100$) category. I already got Lamy Safari.

Totally random question: what was your major in college?

How does the fine nib from different brands compare to each other? Do you mind doing a demonstration? I have a couple of fountain pens around and I am a big fan of fine nibs, but there is no consistency on the thickness of the line with each different brand.

11) CJ C.- Facebook (42:05):
Some of us live in dry areas where even 20% relative humidity is considered to be "muggy" (even to me, and I used to live near DC). This causes a problem with fountain pens: unless the cap creates an excellent seal, inks soon dry in nibs/feeds requiring either a drop of water to rehydrate the ink or a cleaning. My Metropolitans, for example, require an exercise session every 2-3 days to raise the odds that ink will flow when I need it. This isn't a problem with my Platinum pens (including the Preppy), even with the more problematic inks, because of their famous inner cap.

I'm curious -- what other pens or brands, under say $200, offer anything near the sort of protection from drying that Platinum does? Thanks to everyone at GPC; the work all y'all put in to serve your customers is very much appreciated.

How do you determine which products to carry? conversely when do you know to discontinue products?

13) Ravena J.- Facebook (54:42):
How do you get an expensive pen serviced that was given as a gift? I was given an Aurora 88, but the piston needs to be replaced. I don't have any paperwork other than the booklet I was given with it, but I'm definitely willing to pay for the repair. Help?!

Here's a #GouletQA question (I really Love that you offer these Q&A sessions!): I got J.Herbin Rouge Hematite but it doesn't really show the gold sheen when I write with it, only when I put a drop directly on the paper and then smear it. Same issue with a Lamy Vista and a TWSBI, any suggestions on how to get that sheen to come out?


15) Craig A.- Facebook (57:32):
Have you considered stocking J. Herbin's metallic ink pads for making two-tone wax seals?
