Might be a goofy question...but how do you refill them?

TIA, Amy

You take out the white tips and soak them in the solution, then put one end back in, fill the pens, and put the other tip back in. I filled mine with a small medicine plunger, but I suppose you could just submerge them in the solution to fill them.
After I did mine, they were as good as new, but I don't use them as much as I used to since I got the Aquabrushes!

I will have to try that with my blender pens once I get them - they are on back order. How long to they last before you have to refill?

A friend got a syringe from the pharmacy to fill hers.
She really likes the result of refilling hers.

I find my blender pens are still nice and wet, long after the tips are past their prime. I have decided they are disposable but I do give the old ones to my children and hide the new ones :-) It makes them last longer.

Don't throw them away when they dry out, use to paint on bleach. Works better than a brush. I have had the bristles disappear when I used a brush. I found out too late that you shouldn't use natural bristle or was it synthetic? :shock: I forget because I didn't try again with a brush.

You can buy replacement tips for blender pens at Michaels. I'm too frugal to discard anything if I can get more life out of it!
