Default Aquapainter question...

I just got my aquapainters. I think it will take a little getting used to - they are much wetter than a blender pen. But, how do I clean them? Do I just run it on scrap paper like a blender pen? Do I scrub out the ink with soap and water when I'm done with it, or do I let it stay stained? Thanks for your help for this aquapainter newbie.

They're so much fun. Yes, they're wetter to work with. Just keep a piece of paper towel next to you and if it's too wet, just run it along until you think enough wetness is gone. Don't squeeze it unless you need water.

I have not washed mine with soap and water. I just squeeze water out and run along the paper towel until it runs clear. That's how I do it. Maybe others have their own suggestions. HTH!

Just squeeze a few drops of water out and run along a paper towel until the color is gone. NO SOAP NECESSARY!

Default Another way to clean it easily at your stamp table...

is to just squeeze it and rub it against the stampin scrub. That works really well for me. Just make sure to get all of the color out.
