inktense pencils
 
Does anyone know how to fill the water bottles used with the inktense pencils?

The "official" method is to unscrew the barrel and pour water into it. As the opening is so small, it sometimes gets a bubble that blocks it; a slight squeeze should move that and continue to fill.

Another method that might work better is to squeeze the empty tube and submerge the opening in a glass of water, then release. You can see this in this video at about 4:45 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xk9X-7wq2s0

I don' know what the bottles look like but could you use a syringe?

Thin plastic pipette sold at art supplies shops.

Thanks ladies for all your suggestions . I had to do some housework some time so yesterday I got to it and I discovered an eye dropper , That did the trick . I have never heard of a pipette , it may be a bit quicker to fill the bottle than the eye dropper. I live 200km North of Perth in a small country town so will have to wait till a trip down to call into jacksons . In the mean time I will use my eye dropper. Thankyou once again>
