[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 4452634, member: 360"]Yes indeed. An era of REAL thrift. But being thrifty was no excuse not to be fancy while doing it, apparently! I got the idea to fix the pencil with BUCKETS of WD-40, from a friend of mine. She's been collecting propelling pencils for decades. She showed me one of these drop-action pencils from her collection and I just HAD to get one for my collection. When I bought them, I noticed how STIFF they were, and that was when she said to clean them, you just flood them with WD-40 to dilute the grime, and then just wash it out afterwards. It's MESSY - but it WORKS!![/QUOTE]
