Which fountain pens are possible to be lacquered with urushi? How to disassemble fountain pens for lacquering or just cleaning and servicing? And how to prepare them for urushi modifications - cover trim etc.
Do you know other pens with a removable clip? Or maybe you have some other tips & tricks for removing clips, masking the trim - please let me know in the comments.

I'm Michal and I'm a fountain pen addict and I lacquer pens with urushi lacquer. On my channel, you fill wind tutorials, videos from my urushi workshop, presentation of techniques, tools and materials used in urushi craft. I am also showing pens lacquered by me and other artists. I review pens but mostly urushi and I focus on this aspect of pen, not usual build, nibs and writing performance.
I am self-taught in this craft, most I know I do I learned from my own experience, trial and error. A lot of them. But also from Japanese books, and videos on urushi.
I make bespoke urushi pens to order, too, so please contact me If you are interested. It can be an ebonite pen I provide (I cooperate with several hight quality pen-makers) or you pen, provide the clip is removable and trim is not too elaborate.
