5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Application Methods

• Direct Spray: Hold the bottle approximately 6-12 inches from your surface and press the nozzle to release a fine mist of color. Adjust distance for desired coverage and intensity.
• Waterbrush Application: Spray a small amount of ink onto a non-porous palette. Pick up the ink with a waterbrush or paintbrush and apply to your project.
• Layering: Apply multiple layers of ink, allowing each layer to dry partially or completely for varied effects. Dylusions Ink Sprays react with water, allowing for blending and lifting techniques.

5.2 Drying Time

Drying time varies depending on the amount of ink applied, surface type, and environmental humidity. Allow adequate time for drying between layers to prevent smudging.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Nozzle Care

After each use, it is recommended to clean the spray nozzle to prevent clogging. Unscrew the nozzle and rinse it under warm water until clear. You may also spray warm water through the nozzle until it runs clear.

6.2 Storage

Store the ink spray bottle upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the cap is tightly closed to prevent drying.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1 Clogged Nozzle

If the nozzle becomes clogged, remove it from the bottle and soak it in warm water for 15-30 minutes. Use a thin wire or needle to clear any blockages. Rinse thoroughly before reattaching.

7.2 Uneven Spray

Ensure the bottle has been shaken well before use. If the spray remains uneven, clean the nozzle as described above.

7.3 Ink Not Drying

Ensure you are applying thin layers and allowing sufficient drying time. Increase ventilation in your workspace if necessary.
