The Writing Desk Silicone Grease

Professional grade pure silicone grease for lubricating the seals on all types of fountain pen filling mechanisms. Perfect for lubricating piston fillers (eg Pelikan, TWSBI, Lamy 2000 etc), vacuum fillers (eg Visconti Homo Sapiens, TWSBI Vac 700, Pilot Custom 823 etc) and for the servicing of all piston converters.

Supplied in 3ml clear plastic jars containing approx 2ml of silicone grease (which will probably be enough to service hundreds of pens). Apply very sparingly to the inside of the barrel or converter using a non-metallic fibre-free implement such as a cocktail stick (a cotton bud can be used but there is a risk of leaving fibres behind). Always refer to manufacturer's instructions. If in doubt leave it to an experienced pen repairer.

Availability
If an item is in stock, the words "In stock" will be shown. If an item is out of stock, the approximate number of days before we get another delivery will be shown instead. You may still be able to order the item, but there will be a delay before we can dispatch your item(s). If the words "Please enquire" are shown, it's best to check with us first before ordering.

Nib choices for fountain pens
If we show the pen with the default nib selection shown in stock it means we have stock of that pen. If you select another nib size and the website doesn't say "in stock" we can usually supply that pen immediately as we keep extensive supplies of nibs from all our manufacturers.
