The moment you have all been waiting for………
DID THE RUSTY NIB SURVIVE?
So I followed the recommendation from moonandtide by scrubbing with an old toothbrush with baking soda and a bit of water.
Here it is…THE REVEAL……
I was hoping for some sparkles but what I got was a damaged nib but free from red rust so hopefully I have arrested (ha ha) the process of degradation.
More importantly…Does it still work?
Will it make my calligraphy Sparkle?
What do you think?
Hey….Be nice
Hey Elizabeth! I totally missed this post as I was waiting for the reveal on whether your nib would be restorable! In the photo it looks almost brand new (at least from my uneducated perspective)! While it may not be sparkly the calligraphy looks amazing as always! Thank you for your post!
