Question:

How do you restart the ink in a gel pen?

You see the ink in the tube but it's dried up and the pen refuses to write. Has the pen become trash or is there a trick to make it run again?

First, try licking the tip. If that doesn't work, then try heating the tip for just a sec with a lighter. If that doesnt work try blowing on the top end to push the ink down.....I just realized how perverse this all sounds, but I am serious. Good Luck!
