New Gel Glitter Pen Not Working |
|
|
I just purchased a gel glitter pen and can't seem to get it to work. Running it over paper back and forth just doesn't help. Any idea's to get it to work.
I live 40 miles from where I purchased this pen so I really need some help.

Hold the tip over a thespout of a boiling kettle for a few seconds, it works fine for me.

I used to work for a company that makes these pens. I know it'll probably sound weird, but sometimes banging the tip of the pen down onto the paper will get the ink flowing. Holding the pen by the end and shaking vigoursly also does the trick sometimes. If neither one of these works, you might try calling the manufacturer - Quite often, they'll have ideas that you wouldn't have thought of or they may replace them free of charge.

the easiest way- just take the ink part out of the actual pen part and blow hard in the ink container....it should free the flow....my pens do it all the time...just make sure you dont suck on the end, or else you'll end up with a mouth full of ink!

You could try running hot water over it to get it warmed up to flow, besides using the lighter on the end.

Sandy- Check to see if it has a metal tip. If it does, try the same trick that works with ball point pens- hold it for a second over the flame of a lighter. Just enough for it to warm a bit. Then try. Hope that works for you! Good luck! :)
