I used some clear UV cure resin to block the safety holes on a few Kakunos to hopefully stop them from drying out as quickly. It wasn't happening too fast but faster than expected. Too early to tell if the resin helped, especially since two are not inked at the moment (waiting on more CON-70s I ordered to arrive).

Have to look close to even see the difference visibly.

Now I just need to remember not to swallow them.

Photo of the ends of three fountain pens. Two have the rear end visible, one has the cap visible.  Each of them have small ventilation safety holes which have been blocked with clear UV cure resin. Looking closer it's possible to see a little outline where the resin flowed.
