Unscrew the top where the brush is and pull out the orange piece of plastic?

The orange plastic piece inside the container is a stop to prevent paint from going directly to the pen head. With it out the paint should flow to the pend head. When you are done applying the paint from the pen end put the plastic piece back in.

I bought one a couple of days ago from Sierra Acura in Socal for about $10. I haven't used it yet.

Yeah the parts guy says to unscrew the top and remove the orange piece of plastic to get the ink flowing to the pen head. Then put back the orange plastic when you're finished using the pen.

Mine was the tiny bottle too. He said it was the only size they have. I was honestly expecting $15, so for $10 was a nice surprise.
