FAQs
What surfaces can these markers be used on?
These markers are designed to adhere well to plastic, resin, metal, and wooden surfaces commonly found in scale modeling.
Can I mix these marker colors with other paints?
Yes, the special formulation allows them to be combined with oils, pigments, and other modeling paints for custom colors and weathering effects.
How long does the paint take to dry?
Drying time can vary based on application thickness and environmental conditions. It is recommended to allow ample time for the paint to cure before applying weathering products.
Are these markers suitable for large areas?
They are ideal for base coats on small scales or for painting specific details and accessories. For larger areas, traditional airbrushing or brush painting might be more efficient.
Will weathering products remove the paint?
No, the paint is formulated to be resistant to subsequent weathering with most modeling products once it has dried and cured.
How should I store the markers?
Store the markers horizontally with the caps tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.
Do I need a primer before using these markers?
While the markers adhere well to various surfaces, using a dedicated modeling primer can enhance adhesion and provide a more uniform base, especially on very smooth or challenging materials.
Troubleshooting
Marker not flowing properly
Shake the marker more vigorously. Ensure the tip is primed by pressing it down gently on a scrap surface until paint flows consistently. Check if the cap was sealed properly to prevent drying.
Uneven paint application
Ensure the surface is clean and free of dust or grease. Apply in thin, even coats rather than one heavy coat. Practice application on a scrap piece before applying to the model.
Paint lifting during weathering
Allow the marker paint to cure fully before applying weathering products. Test weathering products on a painted scrap piece first to ensure compatibility.
Marker tip clogged
Gently clean the tip with a damp cloth or a Q-tip dipped in water or appropriate modeling solvent. Re-prime the marker if necessary.
