S769. Mechanical White Lead Pencil. Use this fine line (0.9mm) white lead mechanical pencil to draw guidelines on dark paper - then brush off the lines! Similar to the soapstone pencil, but this item has a sharper edge, creating a thinner line that is easier to remove. Each pencil comes with nine 0.9mm leads. Fons & Porter brand. $12.99 S753. C-Thru Clear T-Square. Inexpensive clear plastic t-square (set square). Calibrated on one edge in inches, the other metric. Often on teacher supply lists. 12" $2.50. 18" $4.99 S780. Badger Paint Mixer. Collene Kalb introduced us to this small hobby paint mixer for quickly mixing settled pigments into ink. Particularly useful for metallics such as Dr. Martin’s Iridescent Calligraphy Ink and Spectralite. Good for 1oz – 4oz containers. $13.10 S759. Blazer Ultrasonic Cleaner. Use for nibs, fountain pens, and brushes Dried ink will float right off nibs and from the tiniest spaces in fountain pen assemblies. Michael Sull finds that his pointed nibs last 3 times as long. No special cleaner is needed. Use tap water alone, or if you have a particularly dirty item, add a drop or two of dish detergent. This small, sturdy unit uses the same powerful ultrasonic cleaning as larger, more expensive models. $80.00 PADS DURA-LAR PAD.
