Before first use: Unscrew the blue sleeve to make sure the tip is locked into place. (If not, insert tip and turn quarter turn clockwise to lock. Replace and tighten blue sleeve.
Keep the tip clean: We strongly recommend ScraPerfect’s Best Cleaner Ever™, the earth-friendly, people-safe solvent to keep the tip clean. If after time, the pin seems to stick or catch going in or coming out, take this as a warning that it is definitely time for a cleaning; if you delay, the pin my become permanently stuck in the tip.
For day-to-day maintenance, simply apply cleaner to the pin before closing it up. If you do this, you might not have to do a deep clean for a VERY long time (if ever). Periodically, it may be necessary to thoroughly clean the cap by taking it apart. Some people close the bottle every time they glue, while others leave it open during an entire crafting session. Either way, just be sure the tip stays clear.
