Hello all,

Brief summary, got a touch up pen that ive never really used nor have done in a while (so i know theres paint in there), but however, when i went to use it recently, very little paint/fluid came out on the brush.

Is there anything i can put in to bring it back to life or is it fooked and a new one required?

Thanks

JulesB

as its just a touch up pen youll need some thinners to make it workable again, the problem with doing this is, because its dried out you will have lost the adhesion properties of the paint.
