Fantastic post. Wiki bound I'm sure !!!!
Good article! I have a question about styptic pencils though. I use one and afterward, rinse and dry it. Or at least I try to dry it. But the pencil almost immediately begins to erode and become very fragile. How do I prevent this? I have wrapped it in tissue before but that made it far worse! Right now, after rinsing and drying I have just been letting it continue to air dry...but it still become fragile very soon after the 2nd or 3rd use.
Good ideas. I'll try #1 next time.post and very informative!!!
