Hello all!
I am relatively new to pen turning and fountain pens in particular. I've had a lady aske me to make a fountain pen for a Christmas gift. I've gotten the kits, blanks are turned and I've started putting the parts together. That's when I thought about the ink. Is there a general time frame that ink will dry in the nib? I want to test how well the pen writes before giving it. If it is a short time period, I'll pack it up and then complete it in December.
Thanks for any guidance and input!
