Controlled ink application transforms stencil work from messy guesswork into predictable results. Nuvo Blending Daubers feature 1.2-inch round foam pads that distribute ink evenly across paper, through stencils, or onto embossing folders without flooding edges or creating puddles. The compact 1.8-inch plastic handle offers secure grip and precise control during detailed blending work, short enough for delicate manipulation, substantial enough to maintain steady pressure.

These daubers handle water-based inks, pigment inks, and various pastes with equal efficiency. The replaceable foam pads mean you can dedicate specific daubers to particular ink colors without cross-contamination, or simply swap in fresh pads when current ones become saturated. Tonic Studios offers both standard replacement pads and domed versions sold separately, letting you adapt tool performance to different techniques. Each pack includes three daubers, enough to work with multiple colors simultaneously during layered stenciling projects. Clean pads extend tool life; dedicated color assignments eliminate washing between uses during multi-color sessions.
