What is the best way to store ballpoint pens?
Ask The Desk: Storing Pens Up or Down?
- I find that felt tip pens like whiteboard markers, Sharpies, Microns and highlighters are best stored with the tip down.
- Rollerballs and ballpoints are best if they are stored upright so they don’t leak or get gummy at the point.
- Gel pens seem to be okay stored either up or down.

What is the putty for in Spirograph?
“Spiro-Putty” is basically poster putty, a.k.a. Blu-tack, a white (or blue, if you have Blu-tack) sticky putty that holds down your Spirograph ring (or whatever you’re using for the stationary piece) while you draw your design. The ring should touch the paper all round so the wheel doesn’t slip under it as you draw.
How do Spirographs work?
The Spirograph is a mathematical toy, which you can use for drawing nice figures. In the simplest case it exists of a fixed circle, used as a template, and a smaller rolling circle with holes. Stick a ballpoint pen through one of the holes of the smaller circle. Roll it inside the bigger fixed circle.
How do I keep my ballpoint pen from drying out?
Put pens in the refrigerator. Cool temperatures will slow the evaporation of the solvents, so the ink should stay “fresh” longer. If a pen doesn’t write when you take it out of the refrigerator, warm up the tip with a lighter (just a few seconds) or by putting it in some hot water.
Should markers be stored upside down?
Break the well-ingrained habit of storing pens right side up for the “felt tip exception.” Items like markers, sharpies, and highlighters should be stored upside down to prevent them from drying out. Keeping the ink in contact with the felt tip fibers might help your writing utensil last a bit longer.
