First off, let me start by saying I am just as new to the world of fountain pens as I am to DE shaving (less than 3 weeks).
About 5 minutes ago I capped my Shaefer, put it in my breast pocket and went to talk to a colleage. I then heard the 4 most dreaded words "is your pen leaking?". I look down and there is a huge ink spot, I pull up the pen and I HAD CAPPED THE WRONG SIDE. I had put the pen in my pocket with the uncapped nib pointing down in my pocket. Anyway, now I am left with a big ink spot on one of my favorite shirts.
I have blotted & used hairspray on the area. I plan on keeping the spot moist and going home for lunch to blot some more and throw the shirt in the washer. Luckily I only live a few minutes away.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to remove an ink spot?
