The following size tips are included:
Also works with enamels.
I bought the set of glass line pens and now have two sets of tips. I find these very easy to use although some of the paints can blob and run as some colours seem more watery than others. I've never had a problem of them blocking as I always drop the tips into a small bowl of water as soon as I take them off the bottle. I then clean them out with a small paint brush, dry with paper towel and blow through them to check they are clean and dry. By doing this I've never had to use the pins. I hope this tip helps.
I have had these and the paint set for a few months and after reading the problems about the tips blocking, I may have a solution. When I'm using them I keep a small bowl of water and a small paint brush handy. As soon as I have finished with a tip, I drop it straight into the water and then clean it out with the brush. It doesn't then matter if you don't clean them straight away as the water soaks the paint and it's easy to rinse out. This has worked every time and I've never had a problem with them blocking and have never had to use the pins. I hope this helps.
I have bought several sets of these. Being able to buy the nib sizes individually would be perfect. Unfortunately the fine nibs never work for long, as they block so quickly and then seem to be impossible to clean out. Extra pins, particularly for the fine nibs would also be very helpful as they've snapped when I've tried to use them to clear the nibs. Overall though I love this product.
I love working with these paints, especially with the fine nib. The paints can vary in viscosity which makes fine lines with runny paints difficult, thick paints can easily be watered down. The only problem I have encountered is that one of the fine nibs has become blacked with a very small piece of metal from the metallised paints and no amount of poking will dislodge it.
Extremely frustrating to use as they frequently block up and are very difficult to clean. The bottles of Glassline are not ergonomically friendly and it is difficult to keep a consistent pressure when drawing.
Very disappointing. More pins should be supplied to assist with freeing up the hole in the nib as they are very fine pins and difficult to obtain. In short a good idea, but further design research needed to obtain an effective product that is fit for purpose.
