Smoothing Film Needed
I had a fountain pen nib that needed some tuning so I looked to Anderson Pens for the items I needed. They have all your pen and stationery needs.
A 2-pack set of 5.5" x 4.5" mylar nib smoothing sheets in 2 different grits - .3 micron is light blue and 1.0 micron is pink. These sheets are perfect for final passes when smoothing your nibs. These are much finer than micro-mesh, even the 12,000 grit Micro-mesh sheets or pads. These are considered abrasive to your nibs and pen bodies, even if they do not feel rough to the touch. For best results, ink or fill your pen with water before using and put the shiny side of the mylar down when using.

Fantastic! Whith a bit of care and patience you may turn the most scratchy nib into parker-like smoothness
Haven't had a chance to use this yet, but I was impressed by the speedy delivery to Canada. Order was also packed very securely.
Tried to smooth the Esterbrook 9556 nib even more than the 12,000 grit already accomplished, but this didn't seem to do much. I didn't do more than a few strokes for fear of going too far and left the nib to be, as it was already a good writer.
Great if you prefer a very smooth writing experience and just need to polish nib tippings that have just a bit of tooth.
I used the smoothing film set on two nib, that were so/so, and both are now performing better. I'm now going for the Micro Mesh set for removing baby's bottom, which I could not remove with this (which was not expected).
Very useful for smoothing nibs or removing debris between nib tines. A must for any pen user!
Very satisfied
Haven't had a chance to use them (I'm still learning how to adjust fountain pen nibs) but these were highly recommended as necessary for the serious pen collector.
A steel nib had babies bottom... did figure 8's on this... now it doesnt. Great product.
