I have actually been able to clean OTR and Montana NIBS. I usually remove the nib and allow it to sit in paint thinner,mineral spirits, or xylene. After it sits for an hour or so i take it out of the solvent and squeeze it with a pair of pliers to loosen up the paint(ink) that has dried. I repeat the process several times over a day or so. very few paint or ink will be loosened by the paint thinner but once i put it on the marker its back to good. but this will only work once or twice with the same nib just try and keep the nib juicy.

 

you can try taking a chalkboard eraser and cutting part of it out and jamming it in there..... it works for making mops, so you should be able to do the same with a regular marker.

 

just remember not to buy the same marker again if you have problems with it.
there are good ones, there are bad ones.

 

well if you get it from a store just get about ten nibbs from other markers

 

since you are the kind of guy who ''plans'' to hit a ''spot'' with a water based paint marker i guess your not the kind of guy who figure out by himself that water based paint is dissolved by water so...

i'll let you figure it out

 

I wonder if goof off would work, that shits amazing..

 

If you put a nib in paint thinner the nib disinigrates or at least it does with krylon painties

 

you mean zig painties right?

 

soak it in baking soda/water mixture for about 3 hours, than drink the mixture and spit it out back onto the nib, microwave it for about 5 minutes on medium power, un plug your microwave and put the nib in the freezer. when you take it out just carve off the outer layer, this is built up pigment residue from your ink, depending on what you use. soak the nib in crazy glue, than let it harden and carve off the outer layer once again, than you'll have a nice fat cap, about the diameter of your fist only works with rusto

 

^^^^ was that a joke or does that really work cuz DAYYUM!

 

^^^yup it works i tried it.....

 

bull shit how tha fuck does that work

 

dude it's like a secret among writers don't question it use it or don't.

 

Hey is it good to use your marker as much as you can so it doesn't dry out? Mine seems fine but I don't want anything bad to happen.

 

Buy,Buy,BUY another nib.
This reply wasnt really useful now was it.

I was wondering the same thing but now I know it's pretty much impossible. I would just buy a replacement nib. my dumbass bought a markwell though & bs doesn't carry replacement nibs for them -_-

 

i say try to drop it in some paint thinner and then let it dry out for a while, if that dosent work and you become really desperate for a new nib i used to buy terra cotta markers (the things to write on plants pots and stuff) and those had the same size nibs as the otr markers
