Brayer ?

[tay0479]

I don't have one yet but was wondering, How do you clean it?

[gaylestamps]

I have separate brayers for light and dark colors because eventually the black and red will cause permanent stains.

I wash under running water first, to remove excess ink. Then I use the Scrub and Mist to finish cleaning them. On occasion I will use StazOn cleaner as well (if they look yucky).

I just spritz a little stamp cleaner onto a folded paper towel and run my brayer over that a few times. Darker inks may require a second treatment. Then to dry it off, I just run it over another clean paper towel. HTH

I always run the used brayer over scratch paper/paper towel to get off as much ink as possible before cleaning it. I use baby wipes on mine.

I do exactly the same. A pack of alcohol-free baby wipes is a craft table essential, I think!

I use baby wipes too. If it's really dirty, I'll run it under some water in the sink and air dry.

I'm another baby wipe user. I used to start off with the Stampin' Scrub, but found it just dirtied it more than cleaned it.

Squirt some Ultra Clean on a towel and rub.

You mean you are supposed to clean them after you use them? Lol just kidding...I roll mine on my scrub.

[tay0479]

Thanks everyone. I will be getting one with my next order.

So how amny of you have more than 1...for colors and so on and why...? Just curious

[tay0479]

One more question. When clean, do the darker colors bleed onto the paper?

[lbirus]

I take mine to the sink and run it under water. ***gasp***
I seldom use it for more that one thing at a time so when I'm done and cleaning up... sometimes days later... (ok, maybe weeks later)... I just wash it off and it dries just fine.

I too just wash my rubber brayer in the sink under running water! Works like a charm. I bought mine at Michael's with a 40% off coupon. I only have one brayer but I love it!!

[HLeumer]

I have one that I purchased to accompany the lined templates - we used them at a stamp club I went to a couple years back. I cannot for the life of me get it to work right! Is there some sort of secret? Is there something you guys use your brayers for that I could at least get SOMETHING out of it, lol? It is currently just hanging out in my craft room and going to waste!
