FAQs

How do I use the Marxman pen?

Insert the pen's nozzle into the hole and push the pen to release the chalk.

What surfaces can I use the Marxman pen on?

It can be used on brick, metal, wood, pebbledash, porcelain, and ceramic.

What is the difference between the two pens?

The set includes a deep hole marker (for holes over 45mm deep) and a standard depth marker (for holes up to 45mm deep).

Are the marks permanent?

No, the marks are removable.

How do I clean the Marxman pen?

Clean the nozzle with a pin if it gets clogged. Otherwise, no specific cleaning is required. Store the pens properly.

How long do the marks last?

The marks are designed to be temporary, but the exact duration will depend on the surface and environmental conditions. Exposure to weather may cause the marks to fade over time.

Troubleshooting

Pen not marking.

Shake the pen vigorously. Check if the nozzle is clogged and clean if necessary.

Mark is faint or disappears quickly.

Ensure the pen is shaken well before each use. Try pressing the pen firmly against the surface.

Deep hole marker doesn't reach the bottom of the hole.

Make sure you are using the correct marker. If the hole is less than 45mm deep use the standard depth marker.
