Product Information
Full details
The Faithfull Ceramic Tile Markers are an essential tool for tilers, DIY enthusiasts, and glass workers who need reliable precision when marking out layout lines before cutting or shaping. These markers offer the significant benefit of being easily removable from glazed ceramic, glass, plastic, and metal surfaces, streamlining the workflow by eliminating the need for messy chalk or indelible pens. However, users should be aware that these markers may cause permanent staining on porous, unglazed, or natural stone materials, making a pre-test on a scrap piece absolutely necessary before use.

FAQs
Can I use these on natural stone?
It is not recommended. Test on a hidden area first, as the wax-based pigment can easily penetrate the pores of natural stone and cause permanent marks.
How do I remove the marks?
On most glazed or non-porous surfaces, the marks can be wiped off with a dry cloth or a damp rag.
Do I need a special sharpener?
No, the marker features an easy-peel paper casing. You can peel the paper away by hand, though a blade or sharpener can be used for extra precision.
Are these markers waterproof?
They are designed for marking purposes and are generally water-resistant, but they are not intended to be permanent weather-resistant labels.
Can these be used on porous tiles?
Porous tiles, such as unglazed porcelain or terracotta, may absorb the color. Always test a scrap piece before marking your primary material.
Troubleshooting
The marker is leaving a faint stain on the material.
You are likely using the marker on a porous or unglazed surface. Cease use immediately and test on a non-porous surface instead.
The tip is too blunt for precise work.
Use a standard pencil sharpener or a knife to carefully refine the tip to the desired width.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These markers function as peel-away grease pencils. To expose more of the marker, simply pull the tear-strip or peel the paper casing back to the desired length.
- Compatibility: Best used on glazed tiles, glass, plastic, and smooth, non-porous metals.
- Cautionary Note: Always perform a test mark on a scrap piece of your specific material. Avoid use on porous, natural materials like marble, limestone, or unglazed porcelain where the pigment may soak into the surface texture.
- Storage: Keep markers in a cool, dry place to prevent the wax-based pigment from softening or drying out prematurely.
