Most people (
myself included) have problems with keeping the ink from dripping all over the edges of the bucket. All you need are some metal BBQ skewers and then poke them through the side of the
ink buckets (cut length to size) to use as a tool to scrape your ink knife instead of using the edge of the bucket. If you insert them into the bucket when the lid is ON the bucket, you will be sure to make it possible to keep the skewer when the lid is on and the buckets are stored on the shelf.
A simple, yet effective trick!
