What Methods Do You Suggest For "Hard Starting" Pens? And What Is "Baby's Bottom"? - Q&A Slices

What methods do you suggest for "hard starting" pens? And what exactly is "baby's bottom"? Can anything be done about it?

Could be a variety of factors, it’s always good to clean the pen first just to make sure it’s working right
inspection of the tines is always a good next step, see Goulet Loupe video for reference
baby’s bottom is when a nib is ground with the edges of the slit too rounded, which prohibits capillary action from drawing the ink down far enough to reach the paper
pen will write really smooth, but hard start and skip a lot
it can be smoothed out, a hit on micro mesh will pretty much take care of it, see my Micromesh video for my method
