Understand Tony. No ammonia then (Even though we're talking a dilute mix 90% water and 10% ammonia). They use it safely on pens, (many of which...
That's interesting Reese, I might do a test, just for my own edification.
Fountain Pen collectors (Pens can be 'chemical-sensitive'), use a solution of Water, 10% household Ammonia, plus a drop or two of 'Dawn' liquid...
What diameter are they?... These are the 'crimps' I assume, I can't seem to get scale. Also DuBro brass tubing comes in a useful range of sizes...

Well, success! (though with slight reservations). It's not that bright, but usable, -I'll check it tonight. The pricker doesn't shut it down, it...
Thanks Tony, yes I observed it 'nekkid', and saw a fine jet of kero even with the needle full up which I (obviously incorrectly) assumed was too...
