CARE WARNINGS
Since the Dip Liquids are air-dry products, it is normal that they can get dried over time. To ensure they stay in their best shape, they must be cleansed and sealed tightly after each use.
DO NOT FORCE STUCK BOTTLES OPEN.
This may cause glass bottles to shatter.
We highly recommend to use #5 Brush Saver for bottles that are unable to open. The purpose of #5 Brush Saver is to effectively cleanse, and dissolve any solidified dip powder on brushes both in-between and after use
To open stuck bottles:
Place in very warm water for 2-3 minutes. This will help loosen the dried product.
After 5 minutes, carefully remove from water and swipe #5 Brush Saver around the rim of your bottle and open slowly. If bottle is still not opening, repeat steps with warmer water.
To clean hardened brushes:
Simply insert the hardened brush into #5 Brush Saver and allow a few minutes to dissolve. You can also opt to swap the #5 Cap + Brush with the hardened bottle regardless of which type.
