Just a thought.
I have a small ultrasonic cleaner left from when I was doing jewelry, and decided to give it a try.
I put some h2o in three bottles and fired that sucker up.
After about 1 hour the paint in the bottles had all reconstituted itself.

NOW, for the TE pens.
I unscrewed the tip and put some h2o in and put them in with the Glassline paints, and Viola,. the same thing.
I just saved about $400.00 for nothing.

NOTE VERY IMPORTANT. My TE pens were about 10 years old, so this might not be applicable now.
The threads are LEFT HANDED!!!!

GREAT idea Jim. Now to find a cheap ultrasonic cleaner with longer than a 90 second timer or running on the 'wrong' voltage. :lol:
