When you only need a teensy amount...
When you go through pen talc at a snail's pace, it does not make sense to purchase anything larger than this. The product is sound and the package is stable. The price is fair, given that I am paying for the convenience of tiny.
Just what I needed
I needed a bit of talc and this is perfect. Small jar of fine talc powder with a sifter inside.
Works as expected
Super fine powder in a sifter bottle. I used this to line the inside of my pen and coat the outside of the new sac I put in.
Talc
Well, it is talc. The receptacle is small and very full. Care is needed not to waste. I am very pleased with Anderson pens and fast service.
Pure talc
Great for dusting pen sacs, assuring easy placement and good function. I apply it with a small sable hair calligraphy brush. Just remember to always tap the jar to settle the contents, otherwise it will spill out.
It is talc! Nice Packaging
I needed it while repairing a family heirloom peen. I don't know if there is a difference in talc from one vendor to another, but, this did the job. The primary differentiator is in the packaging. The packaging worked great for me and is about the right amount. This amount will probably last me my lifetime since I don't repair often.
talc for your sac
The talc works great, but the jar is a little messy. Talc tends to get above the threads and when you open it it ends up on the table. Otherwise, works great.
An underestimation of the importance is really bad!
Talc is important because without a powder on a latex sac, it will degrade very quickly, stick to the walls of the pen body, darken celluloid material, and last of all, rupture. No one likes inky pockets, so powder your sac.
Speaking to the product itself, it’s a five star review because everything was as expected and it did its job well.
Pure Talc
"The talc facilitated inserting the part with the new sac back into the pen.
My order came quickly and all the materials were clearly labeled and very carefully packed to prevent any damage while in transit. "
Pen Rehab
A few weeks ago, I purchased an old esterbrook fountain pen. The sac was shot, and if it was going to write again, I would need parts. Anderson Pens had everything I needed on hand. Thanks to them, I was able to acquire the new ink sacs, talc, and shellac I would need, and got an old girl working again. Of the 4 fountain pens I own, this is the only one that wasn't purchased new, and thanks to Anderson pens, it is my most reliable.
