The easiest way to check if your paint pen is actually dry or just clogged, be on the lookout for paint coming out "blobbing" out the sides of the nib when you pump it. The nib may look dirty as well. This means your pen is not dry, it's clogged! You can try to unclog and use the same tip, or choose to buy replacement nibs if the old ones are also blunt or scratchy, and start fresh.
Paint pen is dry after changing the tip
The felt nib is simply too dry to let the paint move, think of it as trying to wash the dishes with a dry sponge.
Keep doodling or pumping gently until you see the tip has gained the colour of the paint.
It's very difficult to restore paint pen tips after they have been left to dry dirty with paint, you can try removing and soaking the nib in warm water for a few minutes (pat dry before placing it again in the pen) - but if this doesn't work, you should purchase replacement tips for your paint pens.
It is very important to look after your paint pens and always replace the lids properly to prevent them drying. Our younger artists sometimes forget or lack the finger strength to do this properly. It pays to double check every time after use.
Whatever your choice may be we do suggest a few essential points;
The Replacement tips for either 3mm or 1 mm
Is a great way to have on hand , when your tip stops working
No more throwing a pen out just change the tip , it’s that easy
Love that the nibs can be replaced, means that I don't need to waste a whole pen just because the tip dried up (had a long break from painting).
6 nibs? No, no, no! I need more, much more 😄
I'm painting so many tocks, I wear some nibs out in a week.
Excellent
I've inadvertently blunted one of my paint pen nibs, from painting on a rough rock. It was a breeze to remove the blunt one and replace with one of these tips. Now my fine black L.O.C. paint pen is as good as new! The other nibs will be sure to come in handy as well.
