Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before use, ensure the container is tightly closed when not in use to prevent the fluid from thickening. Clean your branding irons immediately after each session with warm water or the manufacturer-recommended cleaning agent to prevent build-up. Store the fluid in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the pigments. When applying, use a consistent amount of fluid to ensure the brand is legible but not overly saturated, which helps maintain the scourable properties of the wool.
