I have a bunch of "gelly rolls" which I have abandoned for a few years now. I want to begin using them again, but it won't write! There is full ink in it...I'm sure the ink still works, but it just won't come out. What can I do?

You may be able to get away with putting a few drops of Denatured alcohol into the the chamber to revive the ink. Or try Isopropyl alcohol (also isopropanol or rubbing alcohol) to the chamber. I've do this with Design Markers since Denatured alcohol is the main ingredient and the reason for the strong brain cell killing smell.

If the backs of the pens come off, take them off and blow into the pen. Or, touch the pen to a wet surface (eg. wet your finger and rub the pen against it). Take your fingernail and try to get the pen to roll again.

ive used a lighter on the writing tip, just for a little bit or youll melt it and end up with ink all over..

sounds weird but blow in the ink part (like after you take it apart) and if the tip has dried ink scrape it off
