Product Information
Full details
The Markal B Paintstik is an ideal marking tool for industrial professionals, construction workers, and metal fabricators who need a durable, permanent solution for labeling materials under demanding conditions. By combining the permanence of real paint with the portability of a crayon, it allows for legible marking on virtually any surface, including wet, oily, or icy textures. While it offers superior weather and abrasion resistance, users should note that the marks take time to cure and may remain sensitive to smudging until fully dry.

Troubleshooting
Marking is light or faint
Apply more pressure to the marker or remove the top layer of the stick to expose fresher paint.
Marker feels too hard to apply
Warm the tip of the marker slightly in your hand or against a warmer surface to soften the wax base.
Marker tip is contaminated with dirt or oil
Scrape the contaminated outer layer of the stick off with a clean cloth or knife until fresh material is visible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This marker requires no initial setup; simply remove the protective wrapper and apply pressure to the surface to begin marking. If the tip becomes dull or overloaded with debris, it can be sharpened with a standard utility knife or by rubbing it against a rough surface until the desired tip shape is achieved. For storage, keep the markers in a cool, dry place and ensure the cap or a protective cover is used to prevent the paint from drying out or picking up dust. To maximize the life of the marker, keep it away from extreme heat sources that might soften the wax-based paint binder.
