Extra Fine Dual Point Tria Art Marker

Step 2Prep the Marker

Prep the Marker
What supposedly makes a Tria marker cool is that it has not two, but three nibs: A broad chisel, a brush, and a fine point. The fine point is more of a medium to me. At some point in looking at the Triplus and Tria fine point I realized that the receiving hole for both these points was the same size, and that the receiving hole for the brush and chisel where much larger. So I started taking both apart. I removed the Tiplus nib by gently pulling on it with a pair of pliers and found that it had a needle like feed that would stick into the felt inkwell. The Tria fine point is actually fed by the broad chisel point via a short sponge (remove this as well by poking at it with a needle or other small pointy thing), and while I could pull out the fine point with pliers, too, I couldn't just shove the Triplus needle feed into the chisel because I wanted to use the chisel. I rarely uses a brush marker over a brush, so I pulled this end entirely off the marker (the new clear plastic design of the Tria makes this fairly easy) and tried fitting the fine point cap on the clear plastic. No dice, some modification would have to take place...
