Okay I was a dork, I left my 2-way Zig (chisel tip) pen open over night (cap off). Now the tip is hard and the glue won't come down to the tip, is this pen a lost cause or can I save it. Help !!!

Since you have nothing to lose, I would try putting the tip in warm water and trying to get the hardened glue off. I don't use my chisel tip very much, just the pen end. It has hardened from time to time and I've just peeled the dry glue off.

Okay, I'll try that. I'll post what happens. Thanks!

I have pulled the tip off before, turned it over and used it. It dripped a bit, but I only used it when I needed alot of it, such as placing a front on a folded card, or a large scrapbooking item. I also placed it in a ziplock back and kept it upright in a coffee cup.

Well, I soaked it for 10 minutes in WARM water. It is back to working. The tip is a little fuzzy but the blue glue comes all the way down to the tip now. YEAH !!!! I don't use it often but when I need it I'll have it. Thanks!!!
