How to use

Rinse the cup before first use. Add the required amount of paint and any solvent or medium into the cup, then mix using a brush, stirrer or palette knife until a uniform consistency is reached. Use the mixed paint directly from the cup or transfer it to a palette as needed. After use, rinse immediately with water (for water-based media) or an appropriate solvent, then wash and dry to maintain the cup’s condition.

Recommendations

To prolong service life, avoid prolonged contact with aggressive solvents and clean the cup shortly after each session. Use separate cups for different media to prevent unwanted cross-contamination of colors and mediums.
