I expect the problem would be from having it up against other possibly damp envelopes with no air circulation to help them dry. Actually, this is what happens, in two forms. The first occurs when my rather large mailbox gets hit with torrential rain, and the dampness remains long after the rain is gone. This is probably the equivalent of a little three or four hour deep soak before the postman picks up the mail. After this, the letters must travel en route through fairly good conditions until hitting Asia, at which point, southern Asia's very salty and humid air can leave it's marks. One the other hand, I usually use Encre Authentique for that correspondence, and it fairs marvelously. It's great that you found something that works for you. Greg Clark used to test inks and publish them and the results in a book, but he discontinued. Maybe it got to be too much for him to do. IMO, there wasn't much point to seeing which inks were more resistant to the elements after Noodler's came along. Noodler's certainly seems to have been a godsend to a lot of people. :-) When I get a little more adventuresome in my pen inks, I might just go and give them a go some time. It would be a lot of work to do ink tests properly, and I think I'd be more interested in the writing dynamics that the inks had when in certain pens than in their actual weather resistance. Yes, I'm hugely appreciative for the Noodler's waterproof inks. I've found that the bulletproof inks are somewhat drier than the Noodler's that aren't. For that reason, I don't like to use the bulletproof inks in my Parker Sonnets. I've found the non-BP Apricot Orange to be too free-flowing for my taste in my new Kaweco Sport and added a little Conway Stewart Orange in a ratio of 1:4 to make it better for me. -- ~~Bluesea~~ Spam is great in musubi, but not in email.

Yes, Nathan said that the only way to remove the ink is to burn up the paper on which it's written. -- ~~Bluesea~~ Spam is great in musubi, but not in email.
