Hieroglyphics Tips and Tricks

This ink must be "warmed" by shaking the bottle between the hands. It is advisable to quickly use a pipette to maintain the same density of glitter throughout the writing.
Without this little trick, it will be necessary to recap the bottle and shake it for a few moments so that the glitter is suspended in the ink again.

Ink for fountain pen and nib holder.
Never mix two inks of different types.
If you are not going to use your fountain pen for a few days, it is best to empty it, clean the converter and then add the ink.
