Ranger Adirondack Paint Dabbers are a very cool product that are really worth trying out. I love the look of paint on design products. It always adds a great opaque layered look and the Adirondack Paint Dabbers are so easy to use. The unique dabber-style top allows to you apply the paint directly to your desired surface without the use of brushes. This makes clean-up a breeze. Available in a mulititude of colors, the paint dabbers coordinate beautifully with the Ranger Adirondack ink and other product line. Each dabber bottle will do a lot of projects making this a very economical product to use. The regular Paint Dabbers retail for $3.49 and the metallic paint dabbers for $4.99.

The Adirondack Paint Dabbers contain one ounce of acid-free, non toxic acrylic paint. This paint dries quickly to a smooth matte finish. The acrylic paint is perfect for using on a mulititude of surfaces such as paper, canvas, Clear Card Sheets, wood, metal, glass plastic and polymer clay. Use this paint on cards, altered projects, scrapbook layouts and chipboard for a great look.

Ideas for Using Adirondack Paint Dabbers

- cover chipboard with it
-ink up your rubber stamps and stamp for a great opaque look that is unique from ink
- stamp on top of it
- paint surfaces with a light paint and then ink for a custom color

Tips for Using
-The dabbers need to be primed before initial use. To do this...invert bottle, pressing down onto a scrap paper, squeeze sides. Hold donw for 30-60 seconds until you see paint.
-Keep lids tightly sealed after use to prevent paint from clogging the dabber
-clean rubber stamps immediately after use with water or stamp cleaner
