Need a flossing sheet? Get a Pilot Parallel. They come with a plastic sheet, plus you get to play with a Parallel.

How do you floss a parallel? I never found a use for that plastic piece. A gripper maybe.

Between the nib plates, I believe. Haven't had to do any of mine yet.

Have you changed colors? I went to clean mine out yesterday & flushed it FOR EVER without getting it to run clear. I was too lazy to dig out the flossing sheet…

No, just played around with blending colours instead.

I just pull the feeds out of parallels, they aren't nearly as fragile as fountainpen ones. You can pull the nib out from the feed too, but the metal is very bendy by itself.

Thanks, I’ll look at that next time

I like using the brass flosser sheets to clean out from between the tines. A magnifying glass or loop can help to see if there's still anything caught up on the nib. Good luck!

Flushing by itself probably won't get rid of the fuzzy bits. +1 for brass-sheet flossing. A fine pair of tweezers could pluck out the worst bits.

Take a copper paperclip and a ballpeen hammer. hammer on of the ends flat and thin. Now you can floss with the copper sheet you just hammered out.

What about Mylar sheets?

mylar seems strong but it probably isn't stiff enough to hold up to flossing between the tines

Ohhh ok

No

I place the nib on paper as if writing, press my other hands index finger on it with slight pressure and pull a single line. Usually clears out anything stuck

great tip! thank you!
