Operating Instructions

1. Insert into Container: Carefully insert the narrow end of the dropper into the liquid within the compatible 13.5 fl oz (400 ml) container (e.g., Mr. Color Thinner Liquid). Ensure the dropper tip is fully submerged in the liquid.
2. Absorb Liquid: Gently squeeze the bellows (inflation part) of the dropper to expel air, then release to draw liquid into the dropper. The bellows design allows for efficient absorption.
3. Adjust Volume: To control the amount of liquid absorbed or dispensed, press the bellows part. A gentle squeeze will draw or release smaller amounts, while a firmer squeeze will handle larger volumes.
4. Dispense Liquid: Position the dropper over your desired mixing cup or palette. Squeeze the bellows to dispense the absorbed liquid.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and effective performance of your Mr. Dropper Bellows.

• Cleaning After Use: After each use, clean the dropper thoroughly to prevent paint or thinner residue from hardening inside.
• Rinsing: Rinse the dropper with an appropriate cleaning solution. For solvent-based paints, use paint thinner; for water-based paints, use water.
• Flushing: Squeeze and release the bellows multiple times while the dropper tip is submerged in the cleaning solution to flush out any remaining liquid.
• Drying: Allow the dropper to air dry completely before storage to prevent contamination or damage.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty Absorbing Liquid:

• Ensure the dropper tip is fully submerged in the liquid.
• Check for any blockages in the dropper tip or tube. Clean if necessary.
• Verify that the bellows part is sealing correctly and not damaged, allowing proper suction.
• Ensure the container is compatible and the liquid is not too viscous for the dropper.

Liquid Leaks:

• Inspect the dropper for cracks or damage.
• Ensure the bellows part is not over-compressed or damaged, which could prevent a proper seal.
