Tools
Micron pens
Usually I use 0.1 , but occasionally I use 0.05, 0.3 and 0.5.
Pilot G-Tech Pen
A normal black pen widely available everywhere.
COPIC MULTILINER Brushpen
I prefer the BS size which is smaller.
MONOLOGUE A6 Sketchpad
My handly A6 sketchpad follows me everywhere I go. A place to doodle, write, plan, watercolor, everything and anything.
HERO Fountain Pen
There are 3 types available, $45, $29 and $25.
Bought at STRAITS Commercial , opposite Bras Basah
$45 = More prestige outlook with gold framing. Uses a screw-type ink reservior
$29 = Thinner than the other two Hero Fountain Pens. It uses the a ink reservoir pump
$25 = Same thickness as the $45 Hero Pen. uses a ink reservoir pump.
All three nibs are supposedly the same, according to the uncle at STRAITS
How to replace ink
When refilling the ink, pump the ink very quickly up and down twice. This will very quickly fill the ink reservior up and eliminates air bubbles, filling about 3/4 or almost full ink reservoir.
HERO ink is waterproof when dried. - Black , $3.50 per bottle
Noodler's ink is thicker and contains some tiny little particles, so need to shake well before use, and it might clog the nib is not cleaned properly.
Generally all fountain pens will get stuck if not cleaned/maintained properly.
