It’s very difficult imo to try and make a new gimmicked sharpie yourself. Because the nib is closed, you have to open/slice it to be able to insert the tiny mag. This sounds easy (which I thought it would be to do at 1st) then having to close the opening being precise and delicate enough so that when the pen writes, you don’t get double writing. So yes it is possible but I would honestly buy a new one so you know the precision, care and accuracy is there.

As I wrote repeatedly: You can buy the foil directly from ParaLabs, or here: https://www.stolina.de/parafoil-paralabs.html AND:
If you buy the entire kit, you receive also a pen of which I am perosnally not so keen of… but you receive at least the tiny magnet in it. You can get it out with a needle and a pair of pliers easily and put it the same way in a different pen. I recommend since years the SCHNEIDER permanent markers! They do not dry out for years (true, I speak of my own experience!!) and they can easily be refilled: Look for these articles e. g. on amazon.com, you will NEVER be happier with your results and experiences: https://amzn.eu/d/6Ravxic https://amzn.eu/d/5XgNXEP Jan

Thomas and Rainer are two of the most reliable people on the planet, they do have other things to do apart from cutting foil and refilling pens, but if you need something special from their line up you can still reach them. With regards to buying their stuff, Stolina oofficialy sells stuff for them and so does Card Shark (Christian Schenk). With regards to making pens yourself: rainer mentioned in a live stream on card shark a while ago, that towards the end of the year 2022, they plan on making a few pen construction kits available again. So for those who do not have one yet, you can get it there then. |

Anyone have *any* idea on how to make the "tip magnet" stronger, or what type to replace it with? The impression on the foil is barely readable right now, and I'd like to be able to use it.
