which tip size do you guys use most

I find the 2mm seems to be easier to control but mostly i just pump a little out of the pen and use a brush. You have to work quick with it but i think it works better with less chance of missing little bits. If you do miss a bit with the pen or brush you need to leave it for a week before touching it up or else it'll no look right.

I find the 1 mm and 2 mm both useful, though like Les, I usually apply it with a brush. I mostly use the refill bottle instead of the pens, but it is quite expensive.

I always have a hard time with the 1mm. Seems to always clog for me. Or should I buy a new tip?

just pump a little out of the pen and use a brush, it seems to work better but it dries fast so only put a little out at a time.

I have switched to using the refill bottle and a brush. No more dealing with clogged tips and you can get into the nooks and crannies with the brush. It may seem expensive to start with (about 3x cost of a pen) but after you factor in constantly dealing with a clogged/dried out tip and having to keep 2-3 size pens on hand, it's worth it.

It'll be even better once I get my spray booth built so i can airbrush it.
