There has been a quite a discussion on the Fountain Pen Network about Noodler’s ink. I can only go by my years of experience with this ink in that it is quite caustic to pens, at least the pens I have dealt with. Such was the case with a recent repair I received from a client, his S.T. Dupont. Using Noodler’s ink (not sure the color or “fancy name” Noodler’s assigns to its inks to market it colors) the ink, in about four days, chemically melted the feed. Photos below are of the feed still in the pen, and then when I removed it, which was difficult, as the feed was stuck in the section, which was also damaged, but hard to photograph to show what happened.
Least to say, the client was not too happy, especially with the repair bill from S.T. Dupont!
