I just through mine in this all purpose cleaner called "Simply Green" whenever I go to use them I just pretty much rub the dot part of the cap and the stuck on paint comes off and the inside of the tube is already cleaned out for ya. A quick dry and boom.
Yea but that is the only thing they sell, i'd imagine it works with both paint and ink due to the fact that all it is doing is breaking down the polymer bonds of the rubber thus making it break from its crystal lattice and become more of a liquid.
As for the people with that testors paint. I racked some of the green and it sucks pretty hard lol. Great for when I am painting minatures, not when I am bombing. Are the other colours better? BTW I've got some dollar can that looks a lot like as well as works like the Plutonium G except that it doesn't smell like lemon and it is still bad for the environment. My cam is fucked right now but if enough people wanna see it I guess I'll use my shitty ass camera fone to take a pic of it.
Any respectable ink head will be able to make all the same colours for ink that they have for paint. Shit I know I can do it. I'd say ink just because I'm kinda anti paint....
Lol you wouldn't be able to really tell with a pic because all you would see is the tag. It takes a bit of time to actually show up which means tagging something then waiting a few hours then going back taking the flick and leaving.
I've never had the cotton candy smell from it though a few people who I know have bought real candy claim the same thing. Maybe my nose is just fucked up from all the homemade ink and xylene and shit....
