Hi,

I was working on the weekend and my edding 750 white kept popping the 260 balloon, made a bit of mess on the sculpture, why was this??  :shock:

Later on nthe evening i tries it on a 35oq and it was fine  :?

Has never happened before...........any reasons why this happened, any tips to avoid this happening??

Thanks

Normski

Sometimes you can end up with a clump of dried white on the tip, perhaps that was the problem :?:
But then again perhaps not :(

perhaps some grit stuck to the tip that later came off?..........

Thanks, you might be right.................

It was a little bit dark but i was able to put the white on and 3-5 sec later it popped, does that make sense??

This sound so silly but when i use the white pen i always wonder how long i should shake it for b4 using it or if you should dab the end on paper b4 the gig..............

If it seems a little dry, only shake the pen and pump it on some paper the minimum amount to get the paint mixed and flowing.  If you do it too much, the paint will almost gush out of the pen and go everywhere including on clothes, carpets etc!  :o
ALWAYS keep the lid on when you shake too!
