FAQs
Is this glitter permanent?
The glitter is permanent on most absorbent surfaces once fully dried. On water-resistant surfaces, it can be removed with a damp cloth.
Can I use this on fabric?
While not specifically formulated for fabric, it may adhere to some fabrics. For best results and washability, test on a small, inconspicuous area first. It is not designed for high-wear fabric applications.
How long does it take to dry?
Drying time varies depending on the thickness of application and environmental humidity, but it typically dries to the touch within an hour and fully cures over several hours.
Is the 'Champagne' color glitter fine or chunky?
The German Glitter provides a fine shimmer effect within a transparent medium.
How do I clean up spills or mistakes?
For fresh glitter, use a damp cloth. If it has dried on non-porous surfaces, it can often be gently scraped or wiped away. For water-resistant objects, it cleans easily with a damp cloth.
Can children use this product safely?
Yes, the product is water-based, dermatologically tested, and designed for child-friendly handling.
Troubleshooting
Glitter not flowing from the pen
Ensure the cap is removed and the tip is not clogged. Gently shake the pen. If still clogged, try gently cleaning the tip with a damp cloth or pin.
Glitter appears clumpy or uneven
Apply with a lighter touch. Ensure the surface is clean and dry. For very absorbent surfaces, a primer might improve evenness.
Glitter washes off easily from intended surface
The surface may be too porous. Allow adequate drying time. For water-resistant surfaces, this is expected behavior; for permanent results on other surfaces, ensure they are properly prepared and dry.
Pen tip dried out
Soak the tip in warm water for a few minutes, then try cleaning with a damp cloth. Always recap the pen tightly after use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Viva Decor German Glitter comes ready to use directly from the pen. Ensure the tip is clear before application. If the glitter flow seems inconsistent, gently shake the pen.
Compatibility: This glitter is suitable for a wide array of surfaces, including paper, cardstock, cardboard, wood, plastic, glass, metal, and ceramics. It adheres well to both absorbent and non-absorbent materials. For best results on non-absorbent surfaces, ensure they are clean and dry.
Care: Store the pen upright with the cap securely fastened to prevent drying. Clean the pen tip immediately after use with a damp cloth if any residue appears. If the glitter has dried on water-resistant objects, it can be removed with a damp cloth and mild soap. For best longevity on absorbent surfaces, avoid excessive moisture.
