Default AQUA PENS - CLEANING

I would like to try the technique of using Futura Floor Wax in the aqua pen as an application and sealer medium for Pearl-Ex powders. Can the aqua pen be cleaned and used for just water afterwards, or does it become strictly for floor wax?

Another question: How about bleach? Can you clean the aqua pen after using a bleach/water solution in it? Or is it strictly a "bleach" pen?

As you can see, I'm rather new and just venturing in to exciting new (to me anyhow) techniques.... Thanks,

Maxxsmom

it seems to me that if you filled the auqua pen with water afterwards and squeezed it through the brush and brushed it on a paper towel or rag, that you should be able to get it clean enough to use with water again.

I've never used anything but water in mine so I'm just guessing.

Sure, Maxxsmom -- just clean the brush with hot water and a little soap and you're good to go again. I've never had a problem.
