Great tip thanks

from 2016 video

What is a fude pen?

fude brushes or pens are made primarily for writing. they typically have a relatively short and springy brush tip, allowing for a lot variation of line width. where those ment for drawing/painting have longer bristols, and tend to be easier to control, doring long strokes, because they arent as sensitive.

+Jason Mullins Thank you 😃

they are, but company needs to make money with ink, they cannot survive with just pen sales

Thanks :-)

thanks for info, are you still using it?

​@@vulnerablerummy sure, brush tip haven`t damaged yet :)

So you do stick the syringe into the little barrel inside? He didn't specify exactly what he injected the ink into and I only saw him put the stopper back on so I'm assuming the barrel was inside, but wouldn't you have to reconnect it ?

Oh yes, i really need to refill my pentel sign artist brush pen.

+Ed Long I've a text review at www.google.com.sg/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjngtDS7evQAhXMp48KHTq_APcQFggbMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.parkablogs.com%2Fpicture%2Freview-pilot-prera-fountain-pen&usg=AFQjCNHTWdHO4_mIZUhlXrd_wtlhNOFVEA&sig2=gHRZbexu18AWI8Ty4nGrIw

Thanks (ᵔᴥᵔ)

I've sadly made that mistake

+B Thomas Thanks 😁

+jeanmc3 Thanks 😬

Thank you. :-)

Not sure about that. I've a friend who tried and says that it leaks. It's worth a try though, at home, in case it leaks in your pencil case or bag (no!!!).

You just refill it as normal. You don't have to fill the inner small tube.

Yeah ,That's expired ink

@@subhashram7119 yeah it was, thank god i didnt refill any brush pen with it

The Pentel pigment ink brush looks similar so I guess they could be using the same ink system.

+Teoh Yi Chie I'll check & let u know cuz mine is empty. -- I took it apart and it's exactly the same ink system in the waterbrush style barrel pens from pentel. Confirmed. -- I used a really cheap pipette to fill mine just like you did without using the tubes and just replacing the plug. -- It worked fantastic and I love how the ink flows. Because the pen has a small holding area where the ink fills when you squeeze it b4 it goes out through the brush it is still quite controllable. You really don't need to squeeze it at all while your are using it I found. Thanks Teoh !! I'm very happy with this and found it wasn't really that messy if I prepared and had a big rag to use. Big Hugs!! Reeah.

The Pentel waterbrush is very likely to leak. One reason why there's so many parts in this Colour Brush Pen is to prevent accidental leaks.

Since making the comment, I did a bit of looking into it and it seems people who use the water brush for inking did not mention leaking but they do wash it out right after use, otherwise it clogs. It might be a good way for someone to decide if they like an ink brush or not, since most of us have a bottle of ink lying around and almost everyone who likes watercolours has been lured into trying a water pen. I am gonna try it. The brush pens in Canada are much, much more than what you quote, even considering the USD-CDN exchange rate.

Before I saw this video, I tried a wrong method to refill a similar brush pen (Kuretake), which I guess made it "work" more or less like a water brush (In fact I used it with water for a short while, not that it counts much), with the outer barrel filled with ink, and no stoppers whatsoever. Surprisingly to me, the water flow was more acceptable than the ink flow that way, even though I'd have guessed on the other direction, that water would flow more torrentially and drop more, but somehow it's not the case. So, I guess that unless the water-brush pens have some other mechanism that restricts a bit the flow, the tendency would be the same, for the brush to become too wet and dripping. Just a few days ago I was actually finding it more appropriate to fill plain brushes and crowquills than to use it as a brush. But you could always use the water brush pen "properly" anyway, with just black watercolors (or the full color range, of course), or maybe use a highly diluted India ink. My attempt with using just water was actually that, a two runs of extremely diluted India ink, I just filled the barrel with water and didn't wash it, but doodled with what came out of it. Sometimes it was pretty much black, but also descended into light gray.

This is very interesting, thank you for posting about it. My guess is that the water must have a stronger surface tension than the ink. I just shouldn't be lazy... maybe this upcoming Saturday I will stop wondering and find out once and for all.

You can refill with the inner tube. No problem

+Puchy Tats Thanks 😊

I'm still using them. They last a long time.

@@teohyc Thank you!! Unfortunately rotring's the only ink that's locally available to me. So glad to know that they last very long. 😁

@@teohyc This is great to know. I thought Rotring would definitely clog my brush pens. I'm still holding out to use Rotring in them despite having some. I'm using Speedball superblack in a pentel waterbrush pen and it hasn't clogged yet, so perhaps Speedball might be an option if rotring is too clogging. I don't know! It's difficult to find both a nonclogging and waterproof ink. Some options i've happened upon are: DeAtrimentis archive, Platinum carbon (though slightly clogging if left unused), and Noodlers (Eel black). Let me know if you discover any other great ones! thanks for your excellent videos Teoh.

Pocket Brush Pen is waterproof. Color Brush Pen is not waterproof. Color Brush Pen has larger ink capacity and more if you remove all the unnecessary things inside the cartridge.

Oh, thank you so much for the information.

+Diego dos Santos (Bhradokk) Cool 😀

It should not feather. But paper matters.
