50x Droppers with Suction Bulb

Plastic droppers with a suction bulb from Green Stuff World

The package contains fifty disposable plastic droppers with a squeezable bulb and a scale on the body. They serve to let paint, thinner or another liquid be measured out precisely and the same way every time. Anyone who mixes their own shades or prepares paint for an airbrush will appreciate that the ratio can be written down and repeated next time, instead of being judged by eye.

Use

• measuring out paint and thinner when preparing a mix for an airbrush
• mixing your own shades in a repeatable ratio
• decanting paints and varnishes into smaller containers
• dosing oil, resin or liquid media

How to work with them

Squeeze the bulb before you dip the tip into the liquid, otherwise you will draw in air. Hold the dropper upright, so that the liquid does not get into the bulb, because from there it is hard to push out and it will contaminate the mix the next time you draw. Use a separate piece for each liquid; that way you avoid carrying over paint or incompatible thinners. The droppers are reckoned for single use, but after rinsing with clean thinner they last longer. A package of fifty pieces goes a long way even if a new one is taken for each color.

Who the box is for

For anyone who works with an airbrush, mixes their own shades or prepares washes and filters and needs to keep the ratios under control.

Used droppers with residues of paint and thinner belong in the waste according to local rules, not in the sink. Store out of the reach of children.
