[Faith-talk] substitute for a stylus

[Ron Poire]

You might try using a blunted nail, or a common pin.
The nail would work better.  The pin would make really small dots.  Most 
likely, when your new stylus arrives, you will find the old one.

Not knowing what you have around the house, for putting over the nail head, 
I wouldn't know what to suggest.
