bic clear ballpoint pen problem

[slicksilver]

anybody know how I can make my dried bic ballpens to work? I've got around 60 of them and do not want to throw them in my bin...............

is there still ink? you just gotta roll that ball around until the new ink gets on it. thumbs work well for that. something with grip, so that the ball doesn't just slide across without rotating.

few things work as well as the bottom of sneakers. just keep rolling the pen until something comes out

Just throw them away. Bic standard ball point pens are the biggest pieces of crap ever, I think they're Ford's standard issue If you want cheap pens that work, get standard papermate ball point pens. They don't leak like bic pens occasionally do and they last until all the ink is gone. Otherwise, uniball pens have always been good for me...

burn them all and post the pics or video has proof.

 

Use a lighter to heat up the tip for a few seconds.

Or, sell them to school kids and buy yourself a good pen.
