Anyone got a tried and true method?

(I just tried 10 min in hot water w/o any luck. Probably a real

Did you try WD-40?

Not that I think it will work, it's just closer to working than duct

the problem is that the ink's solvent has dried up.
You can drill a hole in the far end,inject some solvent in there,give it a
short time to work,then the pen will write again.

from Google;
The principle solvents are alcohols, but they also contain ethylene glycol
monobutyl ether.
