Thanks so much, I didn't know I needed to know this. Now I have to go redo my mica sprays.

[@misscheesecake1952]

Thank you so much...I didn't know how to store my mica sprays. Gotta unclog some of my straws.

[@monicak1832]

Another great tip.. the explanation about the sprayer was very helpful... I’m a visual person so I loved this...

[@kathypatterson4630]

Thank you. You did a thorough job of explaining the whys of this!

[@PaperToPetals]

Very cool tip! Thank you, good to know!

[@maycomtois7711]

thanks

[@brendashelonko2149]

also how do you clear a clog, both at the end of the straw and at the opening where the ink come out.

[@HedgehogHollow]

I will add that to the list of how to take a nozzle apart

[@shantijanakiraman4728]

Can you post th link for the Unclogging the Mica mist Spayer. Mine's is totally clogged.Thanks for the Tip on Storing.

[@ruthgibbs2944]

I began watching you during Creativation and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your videos. You provide much helpful information and I appreciate your easy to understand explanations and tutorials.

[@HedgehogHollow]

Thank you so much Ruth; welcome to the Hollow

[@maureenwhite2466]

Good two minute tip. Glad to know how to avoid clogs. 💜

[@Jazzatic2011]

Right. So storage in a cliff bar box it is 🧗‍♀️

[@michelemallen1358]

Do you know how we can stop the mica shimmer coming off? Ranger product….

[@NancyLynn]

Thanks HHH!

[@tracie70]

Thanks. Do you have a craft room tour video??

[@HedgehogHollow]

Not in my new room, we have it on the wish list though

[@melissasilvestre4120]

Hedgehog Hollow after Greg gets a new camera lens? 🤪

[@carolmassey9177]

Can you roll the mica bottles in your hand.

[@HedgehogHollow]

Yes absolutely

[@maryjones107]

Thank you very much

[@tc247]

Excellent tips, as I found my mica did get clogged and ruined some of the more expensive bottles that I had. I had heard that cutting the tubes at a angle at the bottom of the bottle and about 1/4th up also helps the mica from getting up in there. I hope that is true because I believe this woman as she is artist and very good. Thumbs up!

[@HedgehogHollow]

we have an unclogging video on the channel already

[@mrsmorgann0000]

​@@HedgehogHollow could you possibly add the link to the video. I checked your channel and do not see it. thks

[@sisfidy58]

GREAT for how to AVOID clogs, but HOW can I get rid of them without buying new sprayers??? Of my 16 NUVO mica sprays, only 3 work. I have taken the sprayer off of the bottle and soaked them in hot water to no avail. Do you have a tip for helping me to clear out the spraying mechanism??? LOVE YOU LOTS!! Sarah E.

[@bethnewman840]

HOw do we get out a clog one it has formed?

[@GinaLovestocraft]

Thank you ❤️

[@vinitabrinda3196]

Thx. Do u have any tips to bring delusions paints back to their original consistency after they curdle? I saw on another site to try acrylic pouring medium but am afraid to try it. Love the paints but they change consistency

[@HedgehogHollow]

I would contact ranger directly and see what their advice is

[@patcyzauskas7216]

I love Dylusions paints!! Make sure you add plenty of water after each daily use. I go thru my paints once a month to check how fluid they are. Add water to correct fluid consistency. I’ve never had one get thick. But if so, add water and stir with stick. Check again next day and do the same, adding water. Continue daily until correct consistency.

[@tc247]

I too would love to see a video about how to unclog a bottle that has mica in it, and also how to unclog a bottle (one of the more expensive ones, that have a open/close tab at the neck of the bottle and a hook type nozzle) unclogged so I NEVER do it again, PLEASE?! Thanks.

[@shirleylang4256]

How do you unclog glue bottles?

[@HedgehogHollow]

the same tips will work

[@rileyelizabeth9637]

You mentioned you have two sets of the Nuvo, do you store on on your shelf so it looks pretty, and one in the drawer and you use that one? Thanks for sharing!

[@HedgehogHollow]

Yes I do, but that's just because of my Nuvo wall and my work :-)

[@dww786]

That Nuvo wall IS pretty, isn't it? Wish I had room such a display. :o)

[@lesleyritchie5085]

do we have a video om how to unclog yet?

[@HedgehogHollow]

No yet on the list!

[@lesleyritchie5085]

@@HedgehogHollow sob I have a beautiful purple and can't use it

[@fairycardmakerlisa3359]

Good advice for keeping the straw clear. Another tip I saw for keeping the nozzle clear is to turn the bottle upside down and give a few pumps in the spray box until nothing but air comes out. Turning it upside means the bottom of the straw should be exposed. Pumping it should then clear only the product remaining in the straw. If you can do that, you’ll be sure no product is left in the nozzle.

[@HedgehogHollow]

Great tip, thanks so much :-)

[@brendamckerchie2959]

Do you ever have the ones on their side leak out?

[@HedgehogHollow]

No i havent had that happen; they all have excellent seals

[@dww786]

If you're worried about this (if you're storing yours in a decorative, cloth-lined basket, as I do, that you don't want to risk ruining), you could consider placing the individual bottles into zip-lock bags, perhaps. :o)

[@patcyzauskas7216]

I’ve had some sprays >5 years and never had one leak. I store all of mine on their sides just because of the way my craft room is. Except my Tattered Angel sprays (yes they have mica). Those I store upright but alway place on side for awhile before I use or shake. Never had one clog yet. Alway clean off the nozzle after each use. That removes mica and keeps tip from clogging.

[@mytudees1]

Hey Kiddo, are you gonna be in Indy at the stamp convention on the 22nd or 23rd of March? would love to talk to you again. I got to see and talk to you last year at the Cinci convention in Aug.

[@HedgehogHollow]

Sorry no I wont make it to that one but I hope to be in Cinci in the summer

[@mytudees1]

@@HedgehogHollow awww, was so looking forward to seeing you again. Your such a sweet girl, but God willing I'll see you in Aug. My birthday is the 21 st of this Month...almost had the convention right on my day! Take care!!

[@tcconnection]

Isn't mica dangerous to get in the air?

[@ruchapande40]

What about resist spray? How to store those

[@HedgehogHollow]

resist spray can be stored upright but the nozzle need a thorough clean after each use

"Two minute" tip, took 4 minutes...

[@starlightnight9340]

hello, you sad in this clip that the pigments sink down but in the clip "kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWnOho2Dr6xgedE" for ink pad you sad this pads can store them how you want. The pigments and the liquid in the ink pad sink down because the gravity / attraction. If i store the pads on head then are the pigments and liquid at the top. The ink pads from one Manufacturer have a technik in the ink pads that rotate the pad with the face down and store the pads automatically on head. thx

[@bonnerdebbie]

Thanks!
