Default SU Real Red ink pad

I went to use my real red ink pad over the weekend and it had this gummy glaze over the pad. It's changed the color and was a mess to clean up. It still isn't right but I hate to throw it out but I think I will have to. Has anyone else had this same thing happen?

YUP, almost looked like a fungus on it, it was nasty. Another person on here stated they had the same issue with theirs.

Yes, I saw one this weekend that looked exactly like what you are describing. It was gross!

Yes, SU pads sometimes have that happen. The Real Red eventually discolors and turns brownish too. The Basic Black turns purpleish.

I've moved to using Palette inks for that very reason. No fading and I can use them on any surface - glass, fabric, paper. It's great! With those and my Versamark pad for embossing I'm all set!

I opened mine up last week and it wasn't red anymore. I've had mine for 3+ years, and didn't even think to call them. And I'm a demo!

Thanks for sharing!

They didn't ask for the old one so maybe you can give them a call and see if they'll replace it. The lady I talked to was really nice. I've had my pads 5+/- years and have been really happy with them. Not sure what happended with this one.

This same thing happened to my Real Red inkpad. I tossed mine and bought a new one. It also happened to my Basic Brown inkpad.

I just tossed out my Basic Black pad because it was purplish, even though I re-inked it. I've been using Staz-On instead.

I don't know if this is the cause, but a deep red colour is really difficult to achieve...maybe that's why they've had problems??
