Default Blendabilities

Just wanted to know- has anyone had a set of Blendabilites that have dried up? I have 2 in my Coastal Cabana set that have dried up to the point that they are almost unusable. I havent had them that long- maybe 2-3 months. I am very disappointed- as I live in Australia they have cost double the US price. I have read somewhere about ensuring the lid is on properly- pretty sure I have after using them.

If you search on here you will see that there are a lot of problems with that particular color set. You need to contact your SU! Demo for a replacement set.

Thank you so much Arlene. I havent been on this website in ages, but have also emailed my friend who is the demo who sold them to me. Hope I can get a replacement- thought it might have been because I was so addicted to them I had used them up already!

Can you refill the blend abilities like you can Copics?

Unfortunately not! I think that sometime in the future (near) they will be making them refillable. I'm sure it will also depend on how good of a seller they are. If any of our demos can shed more light on this, that would be great!

I used them and really liked them, I haven't ordered any yet though. I also like that they are in sets of 3, light,medium,and dark. My demo had some that were already drying up and some of the nibs were already fraying. She does use these at some of her classes and it could be that maybe some of the users could of been pressing hard??

I have a lot of Copic Ciaos and really haven't used them so I can't really justify buying more!

I am a demo, but have not bought them yet because of the various quality control issues they have with the manufacturer. It hasn't just been the Coastal Cabana colors that have dried up quickly or arrived dry, it's been multiple color groups. I think Coastal Cabana had the most issues, though. I'm waiting for the kinks to work out before I order them. I am a current Copic user and haven't had a reason to switch, but will try them once the quality issues are fixed by the maker.

Please contact your demonstrator or Stampin' Up! directly and they should replace with no problem, as many, many demos have had theirs replaced by SU for these same reasons.

I am excited about blendabilities, but I'm waiting to jump on board when (and if) they become refillable!

I bought cherry cobbler and then old olive. So far all are good. Just make sue to cap tight. I have an issue with my spectrums. Cap needs an extra push to secure. I'm not getting all blendabilities but my spectrums have a gap in coloirs so I'm filling in with these. Just wish they had a fine tip on one end.
