Does anybody have any magic tricks for getting gel pens to write? I've got some old ones that still obviously have ink, but won't write on anything. (grr.)
And yes, I'm trying to use them for crafty purposes-I've got some notecards that need a little....artistic editing.
(Sorry about the text-only post. I've made a new years resolution to actually make some projects this year, instead of just cooing enviously over everyone else's work, but I haven't actually gotten started yet.)

Edit-I've now tried heating the tip, and blowing in to the other end. (Thanks for all the responses, so quickly!) I do notice that the ink at the not-tip end is noticably clearer than the rest of the ink- could that be the problem? Does gel ink seperate?

(There's a little sticker on the cap that says "to revive ink, keep writing." Obviously, this didn't work either.
