The end that has gone sticky is what holds the electronics within the pen. The pen itself is made up of four big pieces that I saw after dismantling my pen to figure out if it was replaceable. It's not as shiny as Ryan's photo, but it is nice and smooth and if I remember what it looked like before, it's a nice matte black finish.įor anybody curious what the inside of your stylus looks like. Thanks for posting a solution, I almost bought a new pen and it costs $100 here in Canada. First I rubbed the toothpaste around the centre of the sticky part by rotating the pen and I slowly moved away until the smooth plastic returned. A small dab of toothpaste and paper towel is what I used. I didn't have any of the 70% isopropyl alcohol on hand but the toothpaste suggestion worked just as well.
Anyway I don't use the art pen very often, I normally use the classic as it is closer to a "normal" pen for size and feel however it doesn't register barrel roll like the art pen does.
I started using a glove a while back to ease with drawing on the Cintiq 22HD Touch and not registering my palm. That is the only theory I can come up with right now. That stuff as you know comes in most mosquito repellents, I have seen it do a similar thing to a plastic clipboard. I'm thinking maybe I had some Deet residue on the back of my hands one day. Anyway before discovering this post I tried olive oil, no luck with that, tried scrubbing, but the tackiness started coming back, so a temporary fix I have done for right now is applied some heat shrink tubing (be carefull on the heat) Pen works ok but the weight of the pen now feels a little tail heavy. The ironic thing is, all three pens are stored in the same location in their stands, very odd how the Art pen has done it. Same thing happened to my Art pen, but nothing to the regular grip pen or the classic pen yet.
