Product Information

Full details

This guide is for artists, crafters, and decorators looking for vibrant, semi-permanent markers for non-porous surfaces. The key benefit is the vivid, opaque white ink that dries to a durable finish. A potential caveat is that it's designed for non-porous surfaces and may not be suitable for all applications. This pack includes four white chisel-tip wet erase chalk markers, featuring valve-activated ink flow for consistent application and pigment-based ink for bold lines.

FAQs

Are these markers truly erasable?

Yes, they are 'wet erase' markers, meaning they can be easily wiped away with a damp cloth from non-porous surfaces. Once dry, they are resistant to smudging but can be cleaned.

What is the difference between wet erase and dry erase chalk markers?

Wet erase markers create a more durable mark that resists smudging once dry but requires a damp cloth to remove. Dry erase markers are easily wiped off with a dry cloth but can smudge more easily.

Can I use these markers on a painted wall?

It is not recommended unless the paint is a non-porous, sealed finish, like a high-gloss enamel. For most painted walls, the ink may soak in and be difficult to remove. Always test on a hidden area first.

How long does the ink last in the marker?

When properly capped and stored horizontally or tip-up, the ink can last for a considerable time. Actual longevity depends on frequency of use and storage conditions.

What are the dimensions of the chisel tip?

The exact dimensions are not specified, but the chisel tip is designed to offer versatility, allowing for both fine detail work and broader strokes.

Can I mix these white markers with colored Pentel Wet Erase Chalk Markers?

While this pack contains only white markers, Pentel offers other colors in the Wet Erase Chalk Marker line. They are designed to be compatible with each other for combined use.

Troubleshooting

Marker is not writing or ink flow is weak.

Ensure the marker is adequately primed by pressing the tip on a surface. Shake the marker vigorously for at least 20 seconds to redistribute the pigment. Check that the cap was properly sealed and try again.

Ink is blobbing or leaking.

This can occur if the valve system is over-activated or if the marker is stored tip-down. Store markers horizontally or tip-up. Avoid excessive pressure on the tip during use.

Markings are difficult to erase.

Ensure you are using the markers on non-porous surfaces. For very old or stubborn marks, try using a dedicated chalkboard cleaner or a slightly stronger cleaning solution, testing first in an inconspicuous area.

Tip appears dry after initial use.

Re-shake the marker thoroughly and re-prime the tip by pressing it firmly on a protected surface for a few seconds. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed when not in use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides bold, opaque white lines suitable for various creative and decorative uses.
  • Wet erase formula offers a balance of durability and easy cleanup.
  • Consistent ink flow due to valve-activated system prevents mess.
  • Chisel tip offers flexibility for different line widths.
  • Works well on a wide range of non-porous surfaces.

Cons

  • Not suitable for porous surfaces where ink may soak in permanently.
  • Requires a damp cloth for effective removal.
  • May require shaking and priming before first use.
  • Color selection is limited to white in this specific pack.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Prime the marker: Before first use, hold the marker vertically with the tip pointing down. Press the tip firmly onto a scrap surface for a few seconds to activate the valve and allow ink to flow. You may need to repeat this process a couple of times.
  2. Shake well: Shake the marker vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to ensure the pigment is evenly distributed.

Compatibility:

  • Recommended Surfaces: Chalkboards, glass, metal, porcelain, pottery, non-porous plastics, and other smooth, non-absorbent surfaces.
  • Not Recommended For: Porous surfaces like paper, untreated wood, fabric, or rough textures, as the ink may not be fully erasable.

Care:

  • Storage: Store markers horizontally or tip-up to prevent ink from drying out prematurely. Always recap tightly after use.
  • Cleaning: To remove markings, use a damp cloth or a standard chalkboard cleaner. For stubborn marks, a solution of water and mild soap may be effective. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
