Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Stains are fluid water-based dyes designed to be used on paper and other porous surfaces that provides quick and easy ink coverage for backgrounds and larger areas. Mist with water to lighten colour and create mottled effects or apply layers of stain to achieve a more saturated colour.

Each Distress stain is tipped with a brushed nylon dabber top which features a built-in spring valve which allows you to easily control the release of Distress Stains from the bottle. By pressing the dabber top down onto surface, the valve opens and the stain releases. Lift dabber away from surface to stop the stain flowing. Spread Distress Stains by swiping the dabber top lightly as a brush across the surface.
