Thanks people
This fellow is newsgroup savvy..I'm surprised he doesn't know about
the usenet group on collecting pens
I'll let him know
Jerry


A friend of mine collects old fountain pens.
Frequently the barrel and the nib are sealed with shellac.
He needs to soften and remove the shellac to restore the pen.
The barrels may be of wood or plastic, the nib is of metal of course.
Can you recommend a method of removing the shellac without damaging
the plastic?
Thanks
Jerry
