Ranger Mini Ink Blending SET of 2 Tools and 4 Foams

Great product, exactly as described

Great blending tools. Perfect size and super easy clean up.

I dip the sponge into the edge of a small amount of acrylic paint on my extra gelli plate and then, I daub it onto the top of homemade or storebought stencils that are placed on a gelli plate or directly onto my paper design. The sponge cleans well in soapy water and lasts a long time..

This is a great tool for stampers, especially if you use Distress Ink products; they will work with any inks, but Distress Inks give the best results because they dry slower and are reactive with water. I also like that the little foam pads fit in the underside of the mini ink pads, so storage and remembering what color goes with what is much easier. These was clean with a bit of water (when using Distress Ink) and if you buy a refill pack of the foam pads, you can do like I did and just have one foam pad for each color. I bought some velcro squares to attach the pads to my full-size distress ink pads- worked like a charm!

I've been using these to apply acrylic paint on art projects. They work very well for this application, however, once they are rinsed with water, they don't last very long. The backing on the foam falls off after it's been rinsed two or three times and then they no longer stick to the Velcro on the handle. If cost is an issue for you, you may be able to find a more appropriate applicator for paint. Replacement foams are available.

I have used these blending tools for a long time and love the way they spread the ink for stenciling and other projects.

I ordered these. I returned them because I already have them. I thought they went to something else I ordered. I do love them and have used them many times highly recommend

you would not think that a rounded blending tool would work so much better than the rectangular one for edging especially- but it does. Love this little tool and the pads are velcro so change out is quick & easy. Also you can wash & reuse them. Personally- I use a mild liquid soap- just a drop onto the pad, work it in, then rinse with water. DO NOT rinse with water first. Work in the soap (any mild liquid soap) and it will work out the majority of the ink & then rinse. Mind you- there will be staining, but the ink is gone & no transfer to future projects. Thus you get maximum life out of the product.
