Refilling your blender pen UPDATED!
Does anyone have the recipe for making up what goes in the pens?
SOMEONE :lol: left the cap off and it dried out.
Thanks
UPDATE:::: I went surfing and found this.
THIS IS A RECIPE FOR REFILLING THE BLENDER
1oz. glycerin
2oz. distilled water
3/4 alcohol
Fill an old dried up marker or your now-empty blender pen.
You can use one for light colors and one for dark.

Blender pen refill
I take it to be in OUNCES. but who knows. And how much is an ounce in
teaspoons? Guess I should get a baby medicine spoon.
I would say it to be 70% rubbing alcohol also....... not the scotch or brandy.

The recipe I have is:
2 tsp of Glycerin
4 tsp distilled water
1/4 tsp alcohol
Distilled water is found in the water section of supermarket. They have regular drinking water and distilled water in gallon jugs.
HTH
Now I must go get my chicken ready for a little beer!!! :lol:

One thing about alcohol,
I've seen in many home made bath product recipes that you can use Absolute Vodka for alcohol called for in recipe.
Gives a whole new dimension to the "relaxing bath".

Glycerine...
I haven't bought it, but I think you can buy it at Walgreens or another type of drugstore. If I am incorrect, someone please correct me. ;)

Glycerin is in almost any drug store. It comes in a dark bottle. It is used as an ingrediant for a lot of stamping products. It is not very expensive considering how far it goes. I have used it to thin Radiant Pearls a little.
I use bottled water as the distilled water part and haven't had any problems.
I also use bottled water for my watercoloring. I use the little storage cups with the lids sold for fruits or small items in lunch boxes. I cut a little hole in the middle of 2 and fill with water. I use one with an eye dropper to drop four drops in a pallet for watercolor. Then blend from there. After I let it evaporate into solid and put it back with its color. I use the other one to clean my brush after each color.
Just a thought. __________________ Shirley in NC - SCS #756

Distilled water has had all of the minerals removed. I'm guessing it's recommended for use in these recipes so minerals from tap water won't gunk up your pens. It's available cheaply in gallon jugs (and you can use it to fill your iron too for the steam setting).
Or, if you have a dehumidifier in your basement, the water that it removes from the air is distilled. (and free!)

I would not use my dehumidifier water to fill my pens. I have two 40 pint dehumidifiers one upstairs and downstairs that I run 24/7. The water that comes out is yellow and molds very easily. They said in the manual that it's only good for watering plants. The water has bacteria.

I wondered this myself when I was reading this post. I took my pen and grabbed the tip and it pulled right off. Not sure if this is right, but I am going to give it a try.

Just wondering how do you put the brush back in the SU pen after you pull it out. I know I could get it out but don't know about stuffing it back in there after the refill.

I was wondering the same thing. Do you pull the cap off or just sit the pen in the solution and let it soak up. If you do it this way, how do you know when it's full? Ok, and what is chicken butt beer?

I use an old bottle for my dove blender pen. It lets me do it one drop at a time. If you don't have that I think I would use an eye dropper. I can see down into the pen and know when its had enough. If you fill it to overflowing, it does just that when you put the tip back into the pen. Sometimes when it flows into the cap because of too much, I just pour it back into the bottle, container, etc.

There may be different versions, but the one I know of is:
Take a whole chicken. Take a can of beer, open it and shove it in the butt of the chicken. Set the chicken on your bbq grill, sitting on the can of beer, of course, and cook. The beer tenderizes the chicken. I haven't done it myself, as I am not a beer drinker, but I've heard about it.
Make sure to refill your blender pens while cooking the chicken! |

I have heard of that but we call it "drunken chicken"! It's actually pretty good, at least I think it was the one time we made it! I'll just stick to filling the blender pens. haha

i've refilled mine-just gently pull out the tips, use the recipe in this thread and let the tips soak in the solution overnight. It's ok, but after several years my tips are a little frayed. After these dry out I'll use them for bleach and buy new blender pens with firmer ends.
