How to Refill Your Blender Pens and How to Use a Bow Maker

 Blender Pen Refill Process

2 teaspoons Glycerin
4 teaspoons Distilled Water
1/4 teaspoon Isopropyl, Denatured or Rubbing Alcohol

Mix all ingredients together and place them in a small glass container. You can pull out the tips of the pens with pliers or tweezers.

  • Put the tips of the pens in the solution and let them soak for about 5 minutes. Put the tips back into the blender pens and you’re good to go.

  • To make it last longer, take the blender pen apart and refill the fiber shaft.  Gently remove the tip with tweezers and set it aside. Next, use one of the methods below:

      • Tap the pen on your work surface a few times, and a white plastic-covered, fiber-filled tube should come out. If it won't come all the way out, gently drip bits of the Glycerin mixture into the pen shaft until no more mixture will go in.

      • Use an eye dropper to drip the mixture into the pen shaft

      • Use a veterinary syringe

  • You must use Distilled Water because it has no impurities.  Tap water will cause your pens to become moldy inside. 

  • Rubbing alcohol is a generic term that can be either denatured alcohol or isopropyl alcohol.
