Default Blender Pens Stupid Question

Are we supposed to clean blender pens after using them and if so, how?

I just scribble on a piece of white scrap paper until the "ink" runs clear. I turn it a bit as I do so to make certain I clean the excess ink off all sides of the blender pen point.

I do the same as above. Does anyone else do something different?

Nope I do the same. I have friends that don't clean them at all.

Nope, I do the same, too! The tip of the pen will sometimes be stained, but not 'bleed' the color, KWIM?

There is one somewhere on here.. I bought some Dove blender pen refill at our local Ben Franklin and it works great!! I don't use my blender pens much anymore though since I got the aquapainters!! Just love those aquapainters.

I also just "wipe" them off on a scrap piece of wHite CS. I have cut a piece of the white and used it to clean the blender pen repeatedly with the different colors I'm using and then used that piece as a layer for a confetti birthday card for a friend's child. It was cute and no extra effort!

Here's a recipe for ya!

Blender Pen Refill: 1 oz. Glycerin, 2 oz. Distilled water and 3/4 tsp Rubbing alcohol. Take out the tips and let them soak overnight..then replace.

I have a bottle with a medicine dropper to refill the barrel of the blender pens...I haven't had to refill mine yet, but my mom has and said it works pretty well.

HTH!

I do the same thing; wipe it on paper until the color I use disappears!

Thanks everyone for all the information. I was afraid I wasn't taking care of my pens correctly. Now, I see, I do the same as everyone else.
