How to refill pens that don't write

It's very easy to waste pens. You just leave them unused for a while, and then, when it's time to write, they don't work and give you the feeling of having run out of ink. A feeling, in fact, because the ink is there e the pen is at risk of ending up in the trash Even though it's still usable, the problem is getting the ink to circulate and flow again inside the pen.

A natural, very simple and effective remedy is that of “recharge” le penne using a heat source for a few seconds. There are several possibilities: a lighter, a candle, radiator accessIn the latter case, simply tape the pens to the radiator with the tip facing up. After an hour or so, the ink will begin to flow again, leaving your pen feeling as good as new.

Charging is even easier with the classic BicIn this case, take out the straw and heat it for a few seconds with the (low) flame of the lighter. It's important not to linger too long on either the straw or the front of the pen, otherwise you risk melting everything. In a few moments, your pen will be back, ready for use.

Recycling and reusing old pens in such a simple way offers a double benefit. On the one hand, we save money by avoiding the unnecessary purchase of a new pen. On the other, we avoid the mistake of throwing away a functional item. And so we avoid double waste.
