Use the firm tips in all sizes 0,2,6,10,16 time and time again to mix, apply, reapply, spread, move and remove paint - the options are endless - just wipe or peel the paint from the tip.

Hints and Tips
The best tip type to use with Oils and Acrylics is the grey, firm tip.

1. When using Oils there's no need for white spirit, as you can clean the silicone tips with water…. no more smell!
2. When using Acrylics, either wipe the tips clean, or if the paint has dried on, simply peel it off
3. A good way of working with Colour Shapers is the wet-on-wet method. Because the tips are non-absorbent, accidental mixing produces less 'mud'.
4. Use a larger Colour Shaper than you think you need because, unlike a brush, they do not spread out under pressure.
5. If you use an acrylic retarder, then you are able to create more textures, as you have more time to work.
