needs help with fluidline!

[mellybelly]

i bought blacktrack recently and a couple of uses later it dried out. i need some advice about what should i do or could i do in order for it to be as creamy or atlease close because now it's hard to get any product on my brush now? so any advice would be greatly appreciated....

You might want to try taking it back to MAC (even if it's been past the 30 days). It shouldn't have dried out after a couple of uses!

You could also try adding a bit of Fix+ or mixing medium to it and stirring gently... (I haven't had that problem but I've seen others suggest this.)

if you're still in the 30 day period take it back and get a new one. maybe the lid wasn't shut properly or something. or you could spray fix+ into it. leave it overnight and it should sort it out for a while

thank you to the two of you. i'm surely going to try your suggestions to add in fix+ and see what come from doing so, if all ends bad i'm surely going to take it back for an exchange becuase at the end of this week will be the 30 day mark. i looked for other posts reguarding this and i looked at the date of the post and it was posted a while back and i was hoping there could of been new and improved ideas but i guess the old ways are always going to be the best way

thank you to both of you guys once again.

Good luck!

I've seen a lot of recommendations that suggest making sure the lid is screwed on tightly...even while you're lining. I have not had to be that anal retentive about my fluidlines (knock on wood), but making sure you're diligent about keeping the lid on should prevent dry outs in the future.

Hopefully you just got a bad batch though and MAC will sort you out.

Take it back I've had mine for almost 2years and it's still fine. I always keep the top screwed tight and I don't leave it open for very long that has kept everything from drying out. HTH

You could try to spray some Fix + in it and shut the lid very tight! If you just got it though I would try to take it back!
