Troubleshooting

Paint isn't flowing.

Shake the marker vigorously. Press the tip against a surface to re-initiate flow. If the tip is clogged, try wiping it with a soft cloth.

Color appears faded or thin.

Ensure the marker is shaken well before each use. Apply multiple layers, allowing each layer to dry, to achieve the desired opacity.

Paint bleeds on certain surfaces.

Apply thinner layers and allow each layer to dry before adding more. Test the marker on a hidden area of the material first.
