No, the sharpened end will not seal over, not even after years of sitting idle. Not to worry.
Gale, Dick Blick has brick and mortar stores in Dearborn, Detroit and Royal Oak. Surely you can route your way to Grand Rapids past one of them, can't you?

Just a note, I've known several people who intended to buy Derwent
Inktense Pencils but got Derwent
Watercolor Pencils by mistake. They both come in similar looking tins, so be careful and READ the front of the tin before you pay for it. They are not the same thing at all.
