Noodler's Safety Ink (4.5oz)

100% Safety ink - can be used to write on glass or plastic. NOT SUITABLE FOR NORMAL FOUNTAIN PENS

Suitable for dipping or with a safety pen (such as the Noodler's Boston Safety Pen HERE)

The label says it is water-based bonded ink without any alcohol solvents - nor any gum arabic! Made exclusively for use with Boston Safety Pen. Bonded inks, once dry, will resist smearing when covered by watercolours and many other aqueous media. Shake the bottle for the Patriots and the Hessians will behave obediently in their water column.

Noodler's Ink is a small American company run by Nathan Tardif in Southern Massachusetts, USA. The Noodler's Ink Co. is best known for their massive range of colours, the unique and largely hand drawn bottle label artwork and unique properties of their inks. Nathan Tardif is best known for his political views and historical knowledge, which often spills over into the names and labels of his inks.

The name Noodler's comes from a technique of catching catfish by hand. Noodling involves wading into the water and feeling around for small crevasses and catching the catfish who have backed themselves inside by holding onto the outside edges of their open mouth. Nathan says it is the ultimate battle between man and beast and your bank balance and social standing have no bearing on your ability. The catfish can be seen on all the ink bottles packaging.

The glass bottles are simple and affordable and the cardboard boxes are recycled.

4.5 fluid ounces (approx. 130ml) glass bottle with in-built glass pipette in lid.

N.B - The bottles are VERY full, so be careful when opening them!
