Glitter pen stopped working
Today, I was going to use one of my glitter pen to add bling to a card. I could see there was lots of ink but it wouldn't write. I took the refill out of the pen and used my embossing heat tool on it. I held the refill and rolled it between my fingers as I applied heat up and down the tube. It worked!!! I don't have to buy a new pen - I could see where the ink had gone down from use but there was still lots of ink in the tube so I thought, 'What the heck, I'll try this and see if it would warm the ink up enough to let it flow again.'
This has probably been done before but for me, it was a first. I have used matches on the tip before. Just remember not to heat you fingers along with the ink! (Every once in a while I get a 'light bulb' moment)
