So what's this nifty little tool anyway? Let me tell you! Besides its cute wooden handle, and you know we love wood here at the Stilwell House! This neat little tool can be used to spread your inks, chalks or paints evenly across your stamps. It is also excellent for burnishing, masking or evenly taping things down. No more sore fingers! You can also use it to spread your ink into your brand spanking new ink pads! And because it's not a foam roller, you get more out of the inks and mediums than without it! And honestly the best figit-er-outer artsy tool we have had the luxury to use when we're not rolling on on a medium! Now that's versitile!
Why You’ll Love It
The firm rubber roller distributes ink or a thin layer of paint evenly without absorbing the medium like foam. It is useful for loading stamps, filling blank ink pads, pressing masks or paper into contact, printmaking, and smoothing small mixed-media projects.

Size
One handheld rubber brayer with a wooden handle; exact dimensions are not stated in the current product information.
How to Use
Place a small amount of ink or paint on a flat palette and roll the brayer through it in several directions until the roller is evenly coated. Roll lightly across the stamp or project surface without flooding recessed details. For filling a blank ink pad, work the ink evenly across the pad until it is absorbed.
How to Care For
Clean the rubber roller promptly using the method appropriate for the ink, paint, or medium used. Mild soap and warm water are suitable for water-based products. Do not soak the wooden handle, use harsh solvents without confirming compatibility, or store the brayer resting on the rubber roller.
