Troubleshooting
Colors do not appear when drawing
Ensure the magic pen is filled with sufficient water. Check that the pen tip is securely reattached after filling. Allow a few minutes for the placemat to dry completely if it was recently used.
Colors disappear too quickly
This is normal behavior as the placemat is designed to dry. The drying time can vary slightly depending on ambient humidity. If it seems excessively fast, ensure the pen is not leaving excess water.
Pen is difficult to fill
Gently unscrew the pen tip. If there is resistance, do not force it. Ensure no water has dried inside the pen's mechanism. Try dipping the pen tip in warm water briefly to loosen any residue.
Placemat remains discolored after drying
Ensure the placemat has dried completely in a well-ventilated area. If a slight residue persists, wipe gently with a damp cloth. Avoid using soaps or detergents, as these can affect the magic drawing properties.
