Found a quick fix for a clogged shimmer ink in my TWSBI
Had a sample of 'Emerald of Chivor' that kept clogging after a day. Mixed in a single drop of distilled water and a tiny pinch of dish soap. Flows perfectly now. Anyone else try this with other shimmer inks?

Yeah, I saw a blog post once that said a tiny bit of soap acts as a surfactant to break the surface tension. Makes total sense for shimmer inks that like to gum up. Your mix sounds like it hit the sweet spot.

A pen maker told me the same thing about dish soap.
