FAQs
What type of inks is Ink Blending Potion No.9 compatible with?
It is specifically designed for use with all water-based inks, such as dye inks, watercolors, and water-soluble markers.
Can I use this with alcohol inks?
No, Ink Blending Potion No.9 is not formulated for alcohol inks. It may not produce the desired effects and could potentially damage the ink.
How do I create a custom background spray?

Will this make my paper wrinkle?
The formula is designed to help paper remain flat and reduce pilling. However, excessive liquid application can still affect paper, so use it judiciously and consider heavier paper stocks for intense saturation.
Can I use this with stamp pads?
Yes, you can spray an inked stamp with the Potion No.9 to achieve watercolor effects, or mix the potion with ink from an inker to create custom spray inks.
How should I store the Ink Blending Potion No.9?
Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight with the cap tightly sealed to prevent evaporation.
What are the dimensions of the bottle?

Troubleshooting
Sprayer not working
Ensure the nozzle is not clogged. Gently wipe it with a damp cloth or rinse it with water. Check that the straw is submerged in the liquid.
Ink not blending as expected
Verify that you are using water-based inks. Ensure the ink is applied to a surface treated with or compatible with the Potion No.9, or that the potion is applied over the ink.
Paper pilling or buckling
While the potion helps reduce this, excessive application of any liquid can affect paper. Try lighter misting or using a heavier weight paper stock. Ensure the potion is used as directed.
Clogged nozzle after mixing custom spray
Rinse the nozzle thoroughly with water immediately after use. If clogged, soak the nozzle in warm water.
