Montblanc rollerball cap won't post properly

Simply put, you shouldn't post your MontBlanc. This is the advice I have heard in multiple places from multiple people for quite some time. You could do some things to make it post, but any solution to you should make sure that you don't put any pressure on the cap. MontBlanc resins are known to be more brittle than other resins, and putting pressure on them over time can result in a weakening in the pen's structure, and result in cracks or chips. Of course, plenty of people post their pens, and plenty of people have them working just fine that way, but it can have negative long term side effects. Long ago I was informed that in order not to mar a 'pricey' pen, it shouldn't be posted and that the cap should be placed open side down on the surface of your desk. Haven't you noticed circular 'ethchings' on pen's barrel caused by continued posting? All this is irrelevant to all but 'anal' collectors concerned about maintaing a costly pen's new pristene appearance. Aaron Hsu |
