GC Accessory: micro pen

How often you visit a cache and it has no pen in it? Most of the cases it is a micro cache, a film canister or similar and cache owners say they cannot find one that fits.

On the other hand when you find one which has a nice and tiny pen in it, it can be fun, so here is a way to make one, simply using a refill.


Plastic pen refill with red gel
I found this online cheap, and comes in 20 piece lots, you have the option to choose from red, black and blue.

All you need to do is:

  1. look at it in front of some light so you'll see how far it is filled up with gel
  2. cut close to that at one end
  3. measure the lenght you need
  4. cut from that end as well
  5. pull out the head
  6. push it into the new body
And here you go you have a tiny pen:


It fits perfectly into a plastic vial, a film canister or any micros.
