Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare for use, ensure the container is shaken or stirred thoroughly to re-suspend the pigments after storage. Store the fluid in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and keep the container lid tightly sealed to prevent evaporation or contamination. When cleaning your branding iron, use warm water and mild detergent immediately after use to remove residue before it hardens. This product is strictly for livestock use; ensure you follow local agricultural guidelines for marking sheep to maintain animal welfare standards and record-keeping requirements.
