Solder's anyone use them?
on: November 30, 2016, 06:02:09 PM
Anyone here have any besides the plumbing solder? I'm trying to see if they write inkless? I have my plumbing stuff so I took a small piece and filed it to a tip to tried it, needless to say it ever so lightly wrote, I think it's lead free, so if it was the old stuff the 50/50 it might have done a better job. Yet there's other solders out there, so I was wondering if anyone has any they can try?
    If they work I can see taking your standard dried out ink cartridge and pulling the very tip off, filing the end so it will flow threw then pooling the solder on the inside so it will drip and make a tip, then just file it after it hardens, worth a shot if any write?

I've got some really thin standard electrical solder. I gave it a try for you and twisted it together to make it thick enough to make a pencil with, but it barely leaves a mark. So its no good.

I was thinking and thinking an thinking, but then I just needed a break. So while out with the Mrs I saw a tv and an old movie, all these guys shooting and it hit me, bullet tips? So I looked in the basement for the 22's but their like a copper, but as I pushed them aside something else, almost the perfect shape, bb's! so I was like no way, and just grabbed one and drug it across a box, sure enough it worked. So for giggles I took a cheap bic popped the ink out and glued the bb in the tip. Was a little rough at first but after dragging it across paper for a little not to bad..  that bic mod took under 2min!
