Faber-Castell Metallic Marker - Gold

While the marker adheres to various surfaces, fabric is not listed as a primary compatible material, and the fixation process might not be suitable for all textiles. Results may vary.

Drying time varies depending on the surface and environmental conditions. On porous surfaces like paper, it may dry in a minute or two. On non-porous surfaces, it might take longer. For full waterproofness, oven fixation is required.

The ink is smudge- and splash-proof once dry. However, it becomes fully waterproof and more durable only after the recommended oven fixation process.

For fresh ink on non-porous surfaces, a damp cloth may remove it. Once dry, especially on porous surfaces, removal can be difficult. It's best to practice on a scrap surface first.

Yes, this marker is specifically designed to work on dark and colored paper, providing a brilliant metallic effect.

The ink offers good resistance once dry and fixed. However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight might cause fading over extended periods, especially on outdoor items.

While the marker can be used on porcelain and glass, it is not certified as food-safe. Avoid direct contact with food or beverages. It is suitable for decorative purposes only on items not intended for direct consumption.

Ensure the cap has been properly sealed and try shaking gently. If the marker has been stored tip-up for a long time, try storing it horizontally for a few hours or tip-down briefly to encourage ink flow. Check if the tip is clogged with debris; gently clean with a dry cloth if necessary.

Ensure you are applying the ink evenly. The metallic effect is most pronounced on a dry, smooth surface. Allow the ink to dry completely to see the full metallic sheen.

Allow the ink to dry thoroughly for at least a few minutes. For greater smudge resistance, especially on non-porous surfaces, consider the oven fixation process.
