About the Pen Chalet Micro Mesh (12,000 Grit)

Micro-Mesh can be used to tune and smooth your nibs, and to get them just right. It comes in a very fine 12,000 grit paper in an approximate 6" x 3" sheet. This sheet of paper can be used over and over again when working on pens.

Before using Micro-Mesh, please take a look at your nib and see if the tines are aligned properly. We highly recommend the use of a loupe. Only after you've assured that the tines are aligned properly should you use Micro-Mesh to polish a nib.

If your nib scratches while you write, try to determine what direction it scratches while writing. If it scratches on the down-stroke, with your normal writing angle and light pressure, write a few down-stokes on the Micro-Mesh. After every few strokes, it is strongly recommended to inspect the tines and to test how the pen writes. The same process can be used for whichever direction your pen has issues with scratchiness. For further polishing and smoothing of your nib, you would want to use Mylar Polishing Paper. Go slow and take your time with this process as you do not want to remove any more material than necessary.

As with anything that will modify the pen, using micro mesh paper will void the manufacturer warranty. We recommend using only with older pens that are currently out of warranty. As Micro-Mesh is an abrasive, if not used carefully you can cause damage to the nib.

*Note* Over-polishing a nib can cause Baby's Bottom, which is an issue better handled by experienced nibmeisters.

    If you are a fountain pen user you either need or will need one of these. Buy it now so when you do need it, you will have it.

    A good tool to have in your arsenal but be VERY careful with this! I overdid it on a nib and had to get profession help, lol.

    All fountain pen users eventually will need the micro grit and other tools for working on nibs. This product helped me fix my fountain pen nib instead of having to purchase a replacement. Thank you, Pen Chalet!

    Great for just smoothing out the rough edges of polished nibs a little making a nib write glassy /butter smooth if you like that feel.

    This is another item I purchased as part of a "nib tuning" collection. It's pretty standard 12,000 grit micro mesh. Works well in helping me polish a nib that was damaged by dropping.
