A place for English speaking sofrim (scribes), magihim (examiners), rabbis and vendors of Stam (Torah, Tefillin and Mezuzah scrolls) from around the world to communicate, share ideas, ask questions and offer support and advice.
I concur. There are those who feel strongly that if the regel does not have a kulmus It's a psul in the tzurah. They envoke the opinion of the Daas Kedoshim who makes such a diyuk in the Alfa Beita. I completely disagree as does Rav Weiner in his sefer as well as others. I would recommend extending the regel a drop first to avoid any possibility of the uketz which you will add in being the same length as regel.
As mentioned, the only issue is the lack of the oketz R"T. Theoretically the short regel could be left as is but to not risk a psul and while at it, to be yotzeh the Mikdash Me'at, extend the regel slightly then add the oketz.
We all know that there is no ancient source that requires ink to be מן המותר בפיך . Possibly, as said here before, because in the olden days ink was always מן המותר בפיך and the question was never raised. It was probably self-evident. Nowadays, no decent Rav will approve an ink which is not מן המותר בפיך . Who was the first one to raise this question? Was it raised because of animal ingredients or because of non-kosher wine?
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." Would you please be kind enough to teach us (so I can include it in the article) which Poskim and what exactly and where did they say that the עפצים וקנקנתום type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן that does not fail? We are not interested in biased פילפולים , or in those who said that דיו עשן is not being used because it fails easily or because it was not known how to make good quality דיו עשן. Nor are we interested in those who said to use עפצים וקנקנתום וגומא ואין לשנות when they discussed specifically the עפצים וקנקנתום type of ink. 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 ...

also, a tip: it looks like the ink is to watery. Let it thicken a bit.
