FAQs
What surfaces can I use this marker on?
The Paint-It Acrylic Marker is suitable for a wide range of surfaces including paper, wood, cardboard, metal, stone, glass, and ceramic.
How do I start using the marker?
First, shake the marker gently. Then, place the tip on scrap paper and pump the nib a few times until the paint flows evenly. It's now ready to use.
Is the paint permanent?
The paint offers good coverage and dries quickly. For permanent outdoor use or enhanced durability on high-wear surfaces, it is recommended to apply a clear varnish sealant after the paint has dried.
What does 'valve-controlled application' mean?
This feature ensures that the paint is released evenly and consistently as you write or draw, preventing blobs or gaps in coverage and helping to avoid clogging.
Can I use this marker indoors?
Yes, the paint is water-based, non-toxic, and low-odor, making it suitable and safe for indoor use.
What is the line width of this marker?
This specific marker has a 4mm bullet tip, which is ideal for general use, creating visible lines, and filling areas.
How should I store the marker?
To prevent the nib from drying out, store the marker horizontally with the cap securely fastened.
Troubleshooting
Marker not dispensing paint
Ensure the marker has been shaken and the nib has been pumped several times on scrap material to activate the paint flow.
Uneven paint application
Shake the marker gently and ensure consistent pressure and speed while drawing. Reprime the nib if necessary.
Paint smudging after application
Allow adequate drying time. For permanent outdoor use or high-traffic areas, apply a clear varnish sealant once the paint is fully dry.
Nib feels dry or clogged
Gently try to re-prime the nib by pumping it on scrap paper. If still clogged, ensure the cap was securely on and store horizontally.
