 Hi there, it's Sandy coming to you from the Virtual Studio and I want to show you my trick for fixing gunked up markers. These are Copic markers that have pigment that's collecting in one spot or pigment that's vacating one spot. So you get a dark or a light spot on the nib. And there's other times when you'll get little parts that hang off the nib, it's just kind of starting to break up a little bit. This trick sometimes works for that. But I'm going to show you this one today. It's when the marker gets crystalline and I don't know why it does this, but I know how to fix it. So that's what I'm going to show you today. You can try this trick on any marker nib that you're going to replace anyway. Try this trick first just to see if it works. And I call it the bag trick. I learned it from somebody else like a decade ago. I do not remember for the life of me who it was, but thank you to them because I've done this for a long time and I've talked about it, but not showed it. So take some of your colorless blender either from the little bottle or the big bottle and put a little bit of it into the corner of a lunch bag, just a regular old plastic lunch bag. And just a little bit because if you have to do this on a bunch of markers, you don't want to use up a lot of colorless blender. And then take your crusty nasty marker and stick it in the corner where all that colorless blender is and start to massage it in. As I'm doing this with the crusty one, I can almost feel the melting away all those little crystalline bits. You may or may not feel something. When you take it out after, you know, it can be like 30 seconds of doing this, the nib will be discolored in a lighter fashion because it's got more colorless blender in it. But as you scribble with it, it's going to start to work again and the color is going to restore. You may need to reink it, but there you go. More tips like this are in the virtual studio free class, link in the doobly-doo. If you have not signed up for that one yet, I will see you all later on. Take care. Bye-bye.
