I have been using the Gina K cube in white pigment, and it is drying out so I bought a full sized one. I opened it to use today and it is a juicy mess. I mean there is liquid in the little channels next to the pad itself.
Anyhow, I couldn't get a clear impression, so I ended up tapping the old cube into the new pad, and then tapping the cube onto my stamp.
I hate the idea of wasting any ink, BUT...in case it really drive me nuts enough, how can I dry it out a bit? Or is this normal for foam ink pads?
Thanks a bunch!

That’s not normal for a foam pad. I have quite a few and none where the ink bleeds out like that.

You can collect the ink to one spot and then use your cube pad to soak it up.
I would have made backgrounds with the extra ink instead of throwing it away or stamp
big solid images a bunch of times , again to use it as a background.
You can smear the extra ink on a watercolor paper ,add water to make a colorful paper than use it to die cut images. I know you have white so this won't work for you.

You could smear it onto some acetate or plastic and then add some water to make splatters. It won't dry on the acetate, so you can keep it for quite some time. Maybe you can use it on Christmas or other winter holiday cards, if you make them.

Some tips for a overly wet ink pad. I just came back to watch this. I think I'm going to try the plastic spoon method to mush the excess ink to one side. Fingers crossed. |

I'd just keep sponging off the excess with the cube until it's not so juicy. Free reinker!
