Shimmering Inks in Ebonite Feeds, Inks for Thin Paper, & How to Stop Ink Leaks | Goulet Q&A Ep. 355

In this episode, Brian talks about shimmering inks in ebonite feeds, shares inks that work well on really thin paper, discusses fountain pen merch ideas, explains how to fix inks leaking from the cap (and how to prevent it), spotlights the new Wearingeul Modular Glass Pen, and more! Plus, he gives some insight into his very interesting past week. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Intro 00:37 Feedback 04:46 New Stuff Comp-nay Updates 09:31 1) Since ebonite is porous, could shimmer inks with suspended particles cause issues? Would plastic feeds work better for those inks? 13:01 2) What fountain pen ink works well on Bible paper—thin but still meant for journaling/writing? I’d likely use an EF nib since I normally write with Microns, but I’m looking for a fountain pen alternative. 17:30 3) I miss how the US sells everything—like all-edges brownie pans! Do you think Goulet Pens would ever make merch like mugs or T-shirts with sassy pen-lover quotes? 23:12 4) Recently, I’ve had ink leak onto the outside of bottles after screwing the caps back on, even though the seals seem fine. This happened with two different inks in the past week. Is there a recommended way to properly reseal ink bottles to prevent leaks? 30:58 5) I think a writing-focused segment could be really engaging, especially if it combines pens, journaling, history, and creativity. Seeing writing used in different ways—quotes, lists, letters, poetry, journaling, or even historical pieces paired with themed inks—would make for compelling content, especially with personal touches from different staff members. 38:20 Pen Spotlight: Wearingeul Modular Dip Pen & Nib Refill 49:47 Brian’s Adventures 1:03:47 What’s Back There?: Pontiac Aztek Hot Wheels 1:06:18 Fun Fact LINKS TO PRODUCTS FEATURED: New Stuff: Colorverse Calendar 2025 Top 3 Ink Set: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/colorverse-calendar-2025-top-3-ink-set Private Reserve Last-Drop Ink Filler: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/private-reserve-last-drop-ink-filler Wearingeul The Elf of the Rose Ink: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/wearingeul-the-elf-of-the-rose-30ml-bottled-ink Wearingeul Modular Glass Pen: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/wearingeul-modular-glass-pen Wearingeul Modular Glass Pen Nib Refill Set: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/wearingeul-modular-glass-pen-nib-refill Pelikan M1000 Raden Stardust Hoshikuzu (LE): https://www.gouletpens.com/products/pelikan-m1000-fountain-pen-raden-stardust-hoshikuzu-limited-edition Monteverde MP1 Collectible Mondrian Composition 1921: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/monteverde-mp1-collectible-fountain-pen-mondrian-composition-1921 Platinum Carbon Black: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/platinum-carbon-black-60ml-bottled-ink Noodler’s X-Feather Black: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/noodlers-x-feather-black-3oz-bottled-ink Noodler’s X-Feather Blue: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/noodlers-x-feather-blue-3oz-bottled-ink Pelikan Royal Blue 4001: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/pelikan-royal-blue-4001-2oz-bottled-ink Pilot Kaküno: https://www.gouletpens.com/collections/pilot-kakuno-fountain-pens SHOP at our store! https://www.gouletpens.com/ LEARN more on our blog! https://www.gouletpens.com/blogs/fountain-pen-blog SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/GP-YTsubscribe ABOUT GOULET PENS: Brian & Rachel Goulet started The Goulet Pen Company in 2009 and you can see the evolution of our mom and pop into a full-blown company through this channel.
