A Mezzuaza I was checking had a very tiny black hair like chut on the moshav of the Lamed connecting to the top of the Moshav. (I should of taken a picture), I touched it 2 times to see if it was connected or not and it fell off. What do you say in this case? (I believe it was touching in a very loose way "touching and not touching"

    I personally received this teshuvah from harav Shammai Gross Shlita: Any dirt, hair, markings that are on an os that have caused a shinuy tzurah: If you can rub it with the fleshy opart (not nail) of your finger and it comes off, it is not a problem chok tochos (or lo kesidran in tu"M).

Thank you for commenting on my ink article. In your comment you stated: "Many poskim disagree... Many rishonim have clearly stated the use of our ingredients."

We are interested to find out where and who (if any) said explicitly, based on sources, that the  עפצים וקנקנתום  type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן , even when there is  דיו עשן  of good quality that does not ...
