My pen leaked and ruined a whole month of my bullet journal
I was setting up my April spreads last night, and my favorite black fineliner just gave out. It leaked a huge blob of ink right on the middle of my monthly log. This happened right after I finished drawing the calendar grid, so all that work was gone. I tried to blot it with a paper towel, but it just smeared and made the page look worse. I had to carefully cut that page out of my Leuchtturm notebook with a craft knife, which felt awful. Now I have a weird gap in my book, and I'm not sure how to fix it. Has anyone else had a pen disaster like this, and what did you do to save the journal?

Cutting a page out of a Leuchtturm is a CRIME, that paper is too nice to wreck. You could try gluing in a fresh page from a spare notebook. This kind of pen betrayal is why I switched to ballpoints for layouts.

My friend's pen leaked on page 47.

That pen leaked right into the binding or just stained the page? Because if the ink wicked into the seam, you're looking at a bigger problem than a single ugly page. Felix is right about the crime part, but gluing might just trap the moisture in the spine.
