The "eyedropper" (or eye dropper) ensures that the amount of paint can be dosed very easily and that the paint does not dry out so quickly. The unique thing about this copper metallic paint is that it is supplied in a so-called "eyedropper" jar containing 17ml. acrylic paint. Of course, it can always happen that the opening sometimes gets a little clogged. You can easily solve this by using a needle or thin cocktail stick to clear the opening.
