i use a number 2 yellow wooden pencil
with a full eraser.
tigonder. oga. being left handed, all writing on
pencils and pens was upside down and backwards.
i was a victim of pencil envy.
the pencil is the perfect size, neck down
the top, keep the base wide.
cut off flat with a very sharp needle tool.
make the hole in the top six times smaller than
the base.
it is just the neck of a bottle, cut off to
form a funnel.
when installed, make sure the bottom lip of
the spout is sharp.
use an old x-acto knife.
i always install spouts with spooze. vinegar, sugar, water and clay.

Mel et al.
I got tired of my spout shape and have been looking for a new form.
I'm looking at the specific detail of the lip/drip solution and how to get
there without having a fat lip look on he spout.
What's your approach?
