Default Dry ranger daubers

I have an entire set of daubbers and tried to use them after some time off from playing with them. The paint has turned pretty thick (like I had to add water to use a brush to get any paint out without a daubber.) Has anyone else had this happen? Anyone able to fix it?

I've had this happen. As long as they aren't solid you can usually add water and mix them up again. If the cap is clogged you can purchase new dabber caps to replace them.

Good luck!

Thanks! Mine is way drier, but I will try to mix them up with water. It will be a project. I have 2 tins worth!

Mine dried out pretty fast. I ended up tossing quite a few and haven't bought any since.
