About the Van Diemans Ink Ink Diluter & Rehydrator

I had a bit of ink set aside in a small tube and sealed with plastic wrap after I'd poured out a little too much. It kept really well at first, but then I used some of it (to write a few cards, so I only needed a little), which decreased the adhesion of the wrap. When I went to refill it, there was serious evaporation that had transpired.
Van Dieman's Ink Diluter & Rehydrator did the trick in reviving it. I didn't know how much to use at first, but I tinkered around with it and found the right ratio. No worries, either -- it was a very forgiving process, and it was super intuitive. I was also able to play around with the viscosity of the rehydrated ink before setting it back to its original state, which yielded fun results.
I can't speak to its value with a lot of certainty just because I suspect that some people would be able to find ways to rehydrate their inks with a thrifty homemade solution, but I'm not confident enough to do that (yet). For that reason, I'll give the Product Value a 5 since it seems worth it to the person I am right now.
