FAQs
Are the pens waterproof?
Once dry, the paint is water-resistant, not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to water.
Can I use these pens on fabric?
While the pens may work on fabric, they are not specifically designed for it. Results may vary and could require heat setting.
How do I store the pens?
Store the pens horizontally to prevent the paint from drying out.
What surfaces can I use these pens on?
These pens work well on paper, card, canvas, wood, and some plastics. Always test on a small area first.
Can I blend the colours?
Yes, the blue tonal range is designed to blend well together. You can layer the colours while they are still wet to create smooth gradients.
What should I do if the pen tip dries out?
Try gently wiping the tip with a damp cloth. If that doesn't work, you may need to replace the tip or purchase a replacement pen.
How long do the pens last?
The lifespan of the pens depends on usage. With regular use, the pens should last a reasonable amount of time.

Shake the pen vigorously with the cap on. Press the tip onto the surface several times to prime it.
Paint appears faded or streaky.
Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Apply multiple coats, allowing each to dry before applying the next.
