This 3 x 4 sheet of 12,000 grit micro-mesh will last for years and can polish hundreds of pens.   How to use: (or watch this video) Note: Before smoothing a nib always check the tine alignment to make sure one tine is not higher or lower than the other.  Tine misalignment is the most common reason for a scratchy nib and smoothing won't help.  In case your tines are misaligned it is usually possible to bend them back into alignment. 1) Wet the micro-mesh sheet or fill your pen with ink.  Micro-mesh is most effective when wet though can also be used dry. 2) Draw 2-3 figure eights on the micro-mesh using fairly light pressure and then test the nib on paper.  You may find a certain direction that is scratchier than others.  In this case give more attention to that direction on the micro-mesh.  Go back and forth between micro-mesh and paper constantly testing for smoothness. 3) Repeat the above until you have reached the desired smoothness. Nib smoothing does take some practice and it is possible to damage a nib if done improperly.  It is a good idea to rotate the pen just a bit while making the figure eight pattern to avoid grinding a flat spot onto the round ball tipping of the nib.  Note that nib smoothing will likely void a pen's warranty.
