    If you want to make dots the best thing to do is get an skinny but not too that would have the right size dots. Turn the brush around and dip the side that doesn't have hair and dip it in the jar. It's really easy if you want dots that you can place where

    U want them and how many. Rinse off the brush and only use that for the dots. I used it in light wood to make bubbles when I made kitty cats bubble baths!
