That helps a ton - mostly, I disassemble to the extent possible, rinse individual parts until they run clear, and let dry. The ones that don't disassemble are the ones that invariably give me trouble.
Upright in a small jar makes perfect sense - the downside to sharing this hobby mostly over the internet is that sometimes I miss obvious stuff like that.
Cool. Yeah I miss stuff too. I'm glad we finally have a FP community here. I really missed that from the other site. Anyway... I have quite a few vintage pens that don't take kindly to disassembly and I am lazy so I guess that's why I did the soaking thing. Having to flush by using a lever or button filler is less than fun lol.
