FAQs
What surfaces can I use this liquid chalk pen on?
The pen works best on smooth, non-porous surfaces like glass, mirrors, whiteboards, non-porous chalkboards, and certain plastics.
How do I erase the writing?
You can easily erase the writing with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, a mild glass cleaner may be effective.
Is the ink permanent?
No, the ink is designed to be erasable. However, it's always recommended to test on an inconspicuous area first, especially on delicate surfaces, and to erase within a reasonable timeframe.
How should I store the pen?
Store the pen horizontally or with the tip pointing downwards. Make sure to secure the cap tightly after each use to prevent the ink from drying out.
Will this pen work on a traditional porous chalkboard?
This liquid chalk pen is specifically designed for non-porous surfaces. It may not adhere well or erase cleanly from a traditional, porous chalkboard.
How long does the ink last?
The lifespan of the ink depends on usage. With proper storage and cap sealing, it should last for a considerable number of applications.
Can I use this for permanent artwork?
This pen is intended for temporary or erasable applications. For permanent artwork, consider using specialized permanent markers suitable for the intended surface.
Troubleshooting
Pen is not writing or ink flow is weak.
Shake the pen vigorously for 15-20 seconds. Prime the tip by pressing it gently on a scrap surface until ink flows smoothly. Ensure the cap was sealed properly and the pen hasn't dried out.
Ink smudging after application.
Allow more drying time before touching the writing. The ink needs a few moments to set. Ensure you are using the pen on a clean, dry surface.
Ink is difficult to erase.
Ensure you are erasing with a damp cloth. For very persistent marks, try using a mild glass cleaner or an appropriate cleaning solution for your specific surface, and wipe clean with a damp cloth afterwards. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.
Pen tip seems damaged or clogged.
Gently try to clean the tip with a damp cloth. If the tip is irreversibly damaged, the pen may need to be replaced. Ensure consistent storage to maintain tip condition.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The pen is ready to use out of the package. For first-time use, you may need to prime the tip by pressing it gently on a scrap surface until the ink flows consistently. Shake the pen well before each use.
Compatibility: This pen is compatible with smooth, non-porous surfaces such as glass, mirrors, whiteboards, laminated paper, plastic, and slate. It is *not* recommended for use on porous surfaces like untreated wood, fabric, or rough concrete, as the ink may not erase properly and could stain.
Care: Always recap the pen tightly after each use to prevent the tip from drying out. Store the pen horizontally or tip-down to ensure ink flow. To clean surfaces written on with the pen, use a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild glass cleaner may be effective.
