Are these markers permanent?

Yes, these markers are designed to be permanent once dry.

Can I use these markers with washes and other weathering products?

Yes, the highly pigmented paint allows subsequent weathering treatments. Allow the ink to dry completely before applying washes or other weathering products.

How long does it take for the ink to dry?

Drying time depends on the surface and the thickness of the application, but generally, it dries within a few minutes.

How do I store these markers?

Store the markers horizontally with the cap securely in place to prevent the tip from drying out.

What should I do if the marker tip gets damaged?

Unfortunately, the tip can not be repaired. You may need to purchase a replacement marker.

Can I refill these markers?

No, these markers are not refillable.

Troubleshooting

Marker isn't writing or the ink flow is poor.

Shake the marker vigorously, and press the tip on a piece of paper until ink flows. Ensure the tip is saturated with ink.

Metallic finish appears uneven or patchy.

Ensure the surface is clean and primed. Apply multiple thin coats, allowing each coat to dry before applying the next.

Marker tip becomes clogged.

Gently wipe the tip with a soft cloth or paper towel. Avoid pressing the tip too hard.
