Set the line width with the screw thread, then load the pen with ink or paint and keeping the thread horizontal to the object you are drawing on, draw a line just like any other pen.

Those were the days Dave.

Started with a pencil.

Architects office first day. Practice sharpening a pencil with knife. Had to be point sharp.

Second day drawing lines. The pencil had to be rotated as you drew the line.
Kept the point round & sharp. No digging into the tracing paper as if you made
a mistake the rubbed out line would still show on the deyline (spelling) print.

Also had to make tea three times a day for 6 people. But blimey had the devil of
the time of my life. All six of us had just fun in our hearts. So very funny. The
ridiculous & stupid antics we got up to. But we still designed buildings.

Laurie,
I was looked down on because of my lack of formal drawing board experience, but that soon passed. I was the first person to be employed in the design office who had not been a company apprentice, but with my engineering background, and just having completed a years' course on Computer Aided Design I found that was no handicap! I was passed around the various sections in the DO, because, having no baggage about previous methods, I could do things that the others hadn't cottoned on to!

I am pleased it is not one of those sellotape to the head pens.

Do you just dip the pen into the masking fluid?

Edit: Just found a load of Youtube guides :smiling3:,
Don't dip the pen

No use a syringe Andrew. If you buy the pan get one with a hinge to one of the pointers. Easy to clean.
