Spoiler alert it didn't work out, BUT -maybe I can add something to dilute it? Any thoughts would be great. Thanks!

One of your 500 sub giveaway winners here, hope you don't mind the off topic comment. Just wanted to report that my package came in a day early, ON Fountain Pen Day, no less! Thanks again, everything was delivered in perfect condition and I'm really enjoying them. I think I recall you saying you hadn't tested the paper included with the notebook for fountain pens, well I have and can report back that it's actually pretty good! Just a bit of feathering and bleed through with my broadest and wettest nib, but other than that, it's not bad at all.

I think that the surface tension is too great causing the ink to adhere to the glass like glue. perhaps because of the oil in the walnuts. I would use smaller bottles to experiment with surfactant and/or glycerin to get the ink to flow from the nib, more alcohol if it takes too long to dry. Anyway use an eyedropper to add to a small amt of ink. sounds like fun...watching you do it I mean. even looks too messy for this fountain pen guy.

I really appreciate the info, and I haven't given up entirely. Yes, testing on separate small amounts is a great idea. Thanks!

Perhaps try to add some distilled water and some gum Arabic to get it to stick once it’s thinned down.

After hurricane Ian took out my oak tree last year I collected a bunch of galls and attempted an iron gall ink. My attempt also failed, but still fun to try. Thanks for showing this!
