Prisma Pencil problem

When you use paper stumps do you have to use a different one for each colour and also how long do they last and how do you sharpen them? I was going to buy some in hobbycraft but don't really know how use them.

Thanks Lisa, when I searched the site it gave me the pods! Not bad for a pack of 12 though really.

That's ok Kim, I didn't realise that price was for a pack of 12.

Oohh thank's Lisa!

Your welcome

Jayne, No, you file the colour away using an emery board, I got mine from Hobbycraft about 4 weeks ago and it still has loads of use left, so I think they will last quite a while.

Does anyone know where you can get the little bottles with the sponges on top to put the sansodar in?

I've used a tiny jam jar with a piece if baby sponge trimmed to fit

I was going to ask the same question as mine a looking a little dog eared now.

I use a spare emory board to sharpen the stumps

I just unscrew my bottle of sansador and dip my blending stumps in.... why do we need bottles with sponge on the top... what am I missing??

[langara]

I was thinking that and didn't want to ask!

That's what I have been doing! Not sure if it makes any difference?

Phew and there was me thinking it was only I that didnt know what it was for.... lol

[langara]

oh no, I'm using the dip it the pot method, thought all this little jar and sponge talk was a bit odd!

Was wondering the same thing? This has so got me puzzled

[wlisa]

It is if you have the smelly stuff you don't get so high on fumes.

[langara]

ah that makes sense, does help me sleep though using the dipping method!

Have you forgotten what happened with my bottle of Sanador while we were away

The jar and sponge helps to reduce the fumes, ensures the stumps don't get too wet and stops the whole bottle being knocked over by some clumsy cow (me!)

[wlisa]

Thats sounds like me to LOL, that is completely what I am worried about. I have been dipping straight into the bottle and getting high into the bargin so knocking the bottle over could always be a possibility.
