    Nice Dom. As you know, I've been using Molotow liquid chrome pens for exactly this for a while now. My toppest, most tippety-top-top-tip is to dispense a little of the ink onto a disposable surface, and use a superfine bristle brush, smaller the better, for applying it. Any pressure at all otherwise on the pen nib results in an unwanted pool of shiny... ask me how I know...

    Shame it takes such a long , long time to charge up 12 hrs Maybe using DURACELL ULTRA or ULTIMA batteries might be a far better idea to use on holiday or if you can be bothered waiting this boring length of time fine charge it up from about 6 pm night before till after breakfast (9 am) next day. But, length of running time on batteries average is not known. But, be great to know a estimate running time or someone to a running test one on the original rechargeable & another on the DURACELLS & let us all know which is best. ( i say personally Duracells ) but, that's just my own personal opinion. I am sure someone can do these two test. As i really think this is my next added radio kit but, i need to be more certain.

    • @driverfilmsshortwavechannel
      @driverfilmsshortwavechannel Před rokem

      Original batteries will last roughly 5 hours. Not done a test on other batteries. Probably would be better to have back up batteries and charge them on a battery charger.
