hello everyone in this video I will show you how to clean and unclogged the rot
ring repeater graph now let me first tell you that this is not my idea I
actually have to thank stamps capes that's where I first saw how to clean
this pen now this is a pen used for illustrating for illustrators and I've
had it for a year and I was beginning to start my art work again and I realized
that it was not working so ink had dried up inside of it and I was stuck I didn't
know how to how to get it working again so let me go over the steps with you and
see how to do that so let's just have at it so first off we're gonna open up the
pen
you're gonna screw the top part
there's the nib right there
then we're going to screw this part
that's the king cartridge right there okay so what you want to do first is you
want to unscrew now this the difference different ways to do it you can do it
with your hand but if it's if it's hard on there you're gonna want to use the
opposite side of the pen to unscrew it so how do you do that put it in here
like this you're gonna screw this part like you're gonna screw it in to see now
it's on the reverse just like that and you're gonna take it and then you're
just gonna you're gonna pull it out like this alright so now there's this piece
that's come out now you can see that it's uh it's a lot of ink on there and
it's all dry now you want to take this other part you're going to take this
piece right off so how do you do that so you're going to take the opposite side
of the pen which is right here
you can't take it and you're gonna screw this in like this
you're gonna turn it just like that
until this piece comes out now so you can see some ink on my finger there so
you're gonna take this part out and now you have the cartridge here and
obviously it's all dried up now you're gonna take this part this piece off this
part comes off you know take it out so there you have it now that's now that we
pull both of these parts out you're gonna take this piece you're gonna take
this other piece here and we're gonna unscrew it and then we're gonna move on
to step number two so that was step number one is based a basic disassembly
of the pen and the nib and you take these two pieces out let's move on to
step number two which is soaking it in water okay step number two we're gonna
soak the nib and now right now you can't hear the piston in there right now
because it's solid right up so we're just gonna soak it in water
let the process start and it's recommended by like again I give credit
to stem escapes because he's the one that showed has the video on how to do
this so you welcome to check out his video too so I'm gonna let this soak for
24 hours and we're gonna keep changing the water until it's all dried up okay
so it's been about 11 hours and as you can see that a lot of ink has come out
from the side and you can almost hear the piston inside so it's starting to
come loose little by little and you can see there's a lot of ink on here so
let's leave it for a couple more hours and come back to it okay so we are all
done now it's been 24 hours and now you should be able to hear the piston so let
me get it close to the mic so you can hear it so that's exactly how it should
sound so the piston is now loose it should be good to go so now it's just
some additional cleaning you know we just want to grab a paper towel or
tissue or some kind and then just uh do some final cleaning and then we're
gonna put this right back the way we had it and then we're also gonna clean this
part too and I'm going to show you how to put it back on
okay so now that it's all clean the piston is loose now you can hear it
should be working just fine and now we should be ready to go she bet to think
so you take a brand new cartridge and then you're gonna you're gonna use the
same method to put it back in to get it going now I already opened this one up
so what you want to do is you want to screw this part in again like this and
then you're gonna break the seal so you're gonna break the seal until you
hear click now it's in there
once this is released you're ready to go the cartridge this cartridge is ready to
go brand new cartridge and it should be working just fine now we're just going
to add the other part that we just clean I'm gonna add these piece to it okay
just like that you hear the piston working in there
we're gonna put it right back in back into the pen like that and it should be
working just fine now as you can see now the ink is gonna be a little grey at
first because there's still some water residue in it so if you do is you're
gonna see some gray until the ink starts flowing black again but it's seems to be
working just fine alright so that's it that's how you clean the rot ring or
Peter Grethe so if you have a bunch of these or you have one that you haven't
used in a while and you're interested in getting it back in working order thats
how you let's say you get it working so big shout out to stamp skates for
showing us the tutorial and I hope you can make wise use of it and hopefully
I'll be doing some more drawing now that I got it back into working conditions so
really great to see so thanks a lot if you found this useful please subscribe
share it or like the video I will really appreciate it thanks again and I look
forward to your comments bye bye
