It can be rather hard to get them to flow.Squeeze the very end of the tube,gently. Then hold pen upright and simply write with it. However, it may be a bad batch of tips- buy a pack of replacement nibs and switch them.

You need to get good quality fabric markersThe crayola ones I used were just okay but I would use a more liquid fabric marker if I were to do this again

You need a stronger light. I had that same problem with the opi pastels. Stronger light did the trick.

Yes, I believe all of the Dimensions Paintworks painting require some blending...but that's part of the fun...just purchase some empty pots for mixing colors. Have fun!!

Makeup is medium. The air brush gets clogged and have to keep cleaning. Then air flow just stops.

On the foundation pod, made sure you open the little nozzle before placing it into the airbrush gun. Also, make sure everything is properly connected. If that still yields no results, the gun may be broken.

Hi Jerry, I'm doing the same. Did these work for your canvas? Thanks in advance for your reply! :)

The top (purple/reddish bit) twists clockwise & pushes up the makeup through the sponge. Maybe it is defective or some makeup has dried & clogged the opening. Try dabbing a paper towel or something pushing down hard to get the makeup flowing. Good luck!

I actually just got mine to work after a lot of research. Someone posted in a review that you must keep some space between the paint jar and the airbrush. That little niche where you attach the brush and jar? Dont put in the jar all the way. Another thing, is that if the can is too cold (from extended use), you must warm it up to get it to spray at a proper pressure. DO NOT heat up the can too much, just run its bottom under ot water for 2 - 3 seconds, or warm water for like 3 - 5. I actually just keep the can in my lap for warmth - it extends the amount of spraying i can do before the can becomes too cold. I actually just got mine to work after a lot of research.

You will notice the airbrush makeup, at least the ones I've used , are watery. My concern and other blogs I've read, say thick makeup cannot spray properly & could plug up your machine.

I'm not a professional and so mine are hardly used. I just checked after months of not using them and they certainly seem okay. My suggestion would be to keep the lids tightly closed and to possibly layer a small piece of Saran wrap over the top of the paint to further keep it moist. Alternatively, you can probably always moisten any dry paint, if necessary, by wetting your paint brush or sponge, then work the moisture into the paint. I hope this helps!

You have mix the paint with water until it flows through the black piece with the small hole. If the paint is to thick you have to constantly clean it. Took a few tries to get it right. Hope this helps.

Yes. I would suggest a practice run first to make sure the ink flow is how you like it. You may also need to let it dry and do a second coat. The markers do work well though!

Rena, I have mixed paint with a thinner and did some airbrushing on paper and it worked out fine. I was amazed how light I could go with the paint just by pushing the trigger a little bit, more trigger= more paint..

Use the smaller nozzle and lower the pressure and it lays a smooth coat. I haven't been able to add two colors together yet but I'm working on it. hopes this helps

I just used water to mix it to the consistency that I needed. Using Latex paint depends on what you're using the paint for.

If the paint level is too low in the paint bottle it won't spray. Also you have to tilt it to get the paint flowing. I had some issues with it when I first got it as well.
