Fantastic - solved a poorly starting nib in minutes!
I bought this pack to solve the "baby's bottom" issue on a poorly starting MB nib. It worked so well and wound up writing so much more smoothly than before, that I then used the kit to polish a few other pens for smoother writing. A word of advice: counter to some youtube videos, I wouldn't suggest starting with the coarsest first. Try starting with a mid-coarse pad (3600 or 400) and working to the finest (I did 4 figure eights, and 4 infinities on each), as I found that on the one pen that I took across all 9 pads in the pack led to slightly overly-aggressive polishing, and resulted in my medium-fine nib now writing on the wide side of medium. But, this was down to me (live and learn!), not these excellent micro mesh pads.
Excellent Value!
As opposed to buying one or two of these pads, this set provides an EXCELLENT value for the price! I was able to use the range of grits to get my fountain pen nibs writing as smooth as glass. I highly recommend!
Great range of mesh
Was fast to tune several nibs, working through each of the grades. I was skeptical about the 12000 grit - insanely fine, but it really was the ultimate touch for an utterly smooth nib. Even my cheapest pens are a delight to use now.
Great for polishing
Terrific effect on fountain pens! Expecially on oxidized hard rubber: it goes back to its original shine
Happiness with Anderson Pens
Had a quiry which was handled , resolved, by a single phone call. A dream service. Was purely amazed at how quick the item arrived at my door. If I ever need anything to do with pens; even though they are 1,500 miles away across the Atlantic Ocean, Anderson Pens will be my first port of call. That is how positive I feel with my recent transaction. Sincerely happy customer Billy
Good product
I have not used this yet, but wanted it for my tuning kit.
Great
"Great product. Used as soon as I received them.
Well pleased..."
Perfect tool to tune your nibs!
"This is exactly what I was looking for; it has allowed me to correct some scratchy nibs!
While I don't think I'm confident enough to try a more expensive nib (yet), this is a very cost effective solution to address issues with my more reasonably priced pens."
Excellent for pen polishing and nib smoothing
A great little set of pads. I use them for smoothing nibs and polishing pens. They work best wet, but still can take quite a while to fully polish a pen, but cam smooth a nib in just a few short swioes across the finer grits.
Good selection
Nice grouping of grits to polish your pens. Especially helpful with Parker Vacumatic filling 51's when you are trying to smooth out the blind cap. Don't skip a grit in the group though, you'll get better results if you use each one.
