FAQs

How do I clean the marker tip?

Wipe the tip gently with a damp cloth or a marker cleaner specifically designed for acrylic paints.

Can I use these markers on fabric?

While the markers adhere well to many surfaces, they are designed primarily for model surfaces like plastic, resin, metal, and wood. Use on fabric is not recommended.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

The paint dries quickly, typically within minutes. However, allow for at least 10-15 minutes before handling or applying additional layers.

Can I thin the paint?

The paint is pre-thinned for marker application and thinning is generally not recommended as it may affect performance.

What should I do if the marker dries out?

Unfortunately, markers have a limited lifespan. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after use, and store markers horizontally in a cool, dry place. If the marker dries out completely, it's likely time for a replacement.

Can I use these markers with an airbrush?

No, these markers are designed for hand application and are not suitable for airbrushing.

Are the markers waterproof?

Yes, the paint is waterproof once fully dry.

Troubleshooting

Marker tip is dried out or clogged.

Try wiping the tip with a damp cloth or a dedicated marker cleaner. If the tip is damaged, consider replacing it.

Paint is not flowing smoothly.

Shake the marker vigorously. If the issue persists, the paint may have thickened, and the marker might need to be replaced.

Paint finish is inconsistent.

Ensure you are applying thin, even coats. Avoid applying too much paint in one go.
