"Cool Stuff" They Should Teach in School
Hey y'all...i know that there is stuff that we all wished we were learning or had learned in school. How come we learn about French painters who died 300 years ago but not how to get along with others? Why don't we learn how to make enough money to pay for a road trip or save the monry once we get it? Hardly rocket science right?! So where are we supposed to find out the things that we're not taught in school?
Well, since i can't open my own school, i figured I would take all the things that I have learned through research, friends, family, dr's, authors, etc.... and try to answer every day questions.
SO...anything you want to know, need advice about or just want to talk about...drop me a post and i'll give you the best advice I can  |

Re: "Cool Stuff" They Should Teach in School
well seeing as the variety of pens is almost infinite (ball pint, caligraphy, round tip, felt, colored (in all colors of the rainbow) and all are created a bit different, i find it impossible to give a full and complete answer on here.
But, the basic answer is that the majoity of pens are made by creating a casing (wood, metal, plastic, etc), inserting an ink filled cartrige (fluid or paste that comes in a variety of colors) that has a quick drying agent (The vehicle, Coloring ingredients, Pigments, Agents, Lacquers and Additives) and a top (ball, fabric, metal, etc) that allows the ink to flow from the pen to the paper.
hope that is a sufficient answer  |

The lacquers, agents, and possibly the vehicle would be the only products needed to concoct a quick drying mechanism. The coloring ingredients, pigments, and additives would be the vitals of actual production of the writing process itself.
