Blender Pen Refill

This is a recipe for the fluid used in your Blender Pen. You can also buy the fluid, but should you chose to make your own, here's the recipe. The refill instructions are the same no matter if you buy the fluid or make it yourself.

Supplies:

There are a few different recipes out there; they're all pretty much the same.

1 oz. glycerin
2 oz. distilled water
3/4 teaspoon rubbing alcohol

2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons glycerin
5 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon rubbing alcohol

Step 1:

Either buy the blender refill or make one of the two recipes above. A little goes a very long way.

Step 2:

Gently pull the tips out of the pen (both ends). Some people use tweezers. I have no problem just grabbing it with my fingers. If you do use tweezers, be very careful. You don't want to mar the tip.

Step 3:

Soak the tips in the fluid (step 1). Some say to soak them overnight, others say for a few hours. It may depend on how dry they are.

Step 4:

Gently (always gently with these tips) push one tip back into the marker. Now place a few drops of the fluid into the pen. You have to be very careful here as the marker is so narrow, large drops won't make it in. You need to use an eye-dropper or something similiar to get the drops in.

Step 5:

Gently put the other tip back in and you're read to go.
