Distress Stains are fluid water-based dyes for papers and other porous surfaces.  These are 1 fl oz bottles.  The brushed nylon dabber top has a built-in spring valve. This controls the release of Distress Stains from the bottle. By pressing the dabber top down onto surface, the valve opens and fluid releases. Lift dabber away from surface to stop fluid flow. Mist with water to lighten color and create mottled effects.
