I can't find a typewriter forum amongst Google groups so am posting question here. What is the best and easiest method of type of mechanical typewriter?

  1. Blutack or plasticine
  2. A brush with dense very short stiff bristles - take a half inch paint brush and cut it down to half an inch long.

Old toothbrush and kerosene.
