Default SU Craft Stamp Pad Question

Hi there!

I just got some refills for my SU Craft Stamp pad but I'm not sure how to re-ink them.

Can anyone help me??

I've never actually re-inked an SU craft pad but when I've done other pigment pads. I just squeezed the ink out in a zig zag pattern and rubbed it in with the tip of the bottle until the pad seemed at about the right juicyness. Perhaps others have some tips as well.

That is how I do it too...or sometimes I just get a small piece of Saran wrap and wrap it around my finger and rub the reinker in that way too...

And I usually let it sit for a day before using it.

Yup, nothing scientific about it - squeeze and smear! Start out with minimal drops of ink and continue to add if needed to get the consistency you like to stamp with.

In addition to the above, I shake up the re-inker to mix the pigment back together.

I had a bit of trouble with the Vanilla, it was green at the tip. So I squeezed that out until it was vanilla again and then re-inked the pad.

I also try to do that a day or so before I plan to use the pad.
