Product Information
Full details
The Pebeo Plastic Droppers are an essential set of five precision tools designed for artists, hobbyists, and crafters who work with fluid mediums like acrylic inks, watercolors, and resin. These droppers allow for highly controlled measurement and application, making them perfect for detailed color mixing and complex mixed-media techniques; however, users should note that while they are durable and reusable, they are best suited for water-based or non-corrosive liquids to ensure the longest lifespan.

FAQs
Can I use these droppers for resin?
Yes, they work well for adding pigments or dyes to resin, provided you clean them thoroughly before the resin cures inside the tube.
Are these droppers dishwasher safe?
It is not recommended. Manual cleaning with warm water is safer and will prevent the plastic from warping or clouding.
What is the maximum capacity of each dropper?
Each dropper is calibrated to measure up to 3 ml of liquid.
Can I use them for oils or spirits?
They are designed primarily for water-based mediums. Harsh solvents may damage or weaken the plastic over time.
How do I prevent colors from mixing?
Because the set includes five individual droppers, you can dedicate one dropper to each color or medium you are using to prevent cross-contamination.
Troubleshooting
Liquid not being drawn up into the dropper.
Ensure the bulb is fully squeezed before the tip is submerged in the liquid. Also, check that the tip is not blocked by dried paint or debris.
Dropper is leaking or dripping uncontrollably.
Check the seal between the bulb and the stem. If liquid has entered the bulb, remove it and rinse thoroughly before reassembling.
Residual paint stuck inside the stem.
Use a small, soft pipe cleaner or simply flush repeatedly with warm soapy water until the residue is cleared.
