Mont Black (Mont Blanc Hack) - fitting the new Mont Blanc pen refills into Pilot G2 pens

Step 3Measure twice, cut once !

Measure twice, cut once !
Time to chop the cap in little bits ! Armed with your X-acto blade, you're going to !
  • Cut away the top part of the cap - you won't need it.
  • Cut a first piece, about 7 to 8 millimeters long ;
  • Cut a second piece, about 10 to 12 millimeters long.
We won't need the leftover piece of plastic right away, but you can hold on to it in case you lose one of the other parts !

It's usually a good idea to cut these parts a bit longer than needed, and shave them down to the right size later - for example, cutting a 12 millimeters piece and then shaving it down to 11 or 12 depending on your needs.
Also, be careful as you cut away the cap - the piece you'll be cutting might just fly out across the room and you'll end up looking for it ! Makes up for a few frustrating moments.

If you've got all your little bits and pieces, you're ready to move on to the next step !
