Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Shake well: Before first use and periodically during use, shake the pen vigorously for at least 30 seconds to ensure the paint is thoroughly mixed.
- Prime the tip: Press the pen tip down firmly onto a scrap surface several times until the paint flows evenly. This primes the pump mechanism.
Compatibility:
The SolaDirect Marker Pen is compatible with a wide range of surfaces, including but not limited to:
- Tiles
- Cardboards
- Textile
- Paper
- Glass
- Plastic
- Metal
- Wood
- Rubber
- Steel
- Aluminium
Care:
- Storage: Store the pen horizontally with the cap securely fitted to prevent the tip from drying out and the paint from settling.
- Cleaning: For minor smudges on non-porous surfaces, wipe immediately with a cloth. For dried paint on surfaces or the pen tip, a solvent like isopropyl alcohol may be required, but test on an inconspicuous area first. Always use in a well-ventilated area.
- Tip Maintenance: If the tip becomes clogged, gently clean it with a damp cloth or a suitable solvent. Re-prime if necessary.
