FAQs
Is the notepad completely waterproof or just water-resistant?
The notepad is designed to be highly water-resistant, meaning it can withstand rain and splashes without damaging the paper or ink. It is not intended for full submersion.
What type of pen should I use with this notepad?
Ballpoint pens and pencils are highly recommended for the best results. Permanent markers can also be used, but test on a small area first. Avoid using water-based inks or gel pens as they may smudge.
How many pages does the notepad have?
The notepad contains 50 sheets.
What are the dimensions of the notepad?
The notepad has a height of 15cm and a width of 10.5cm, which is standard A6 size.
Can I use this notepad in freezing temperatures?
While designed for weather resistance, extreme cold can affect the flexibility of any material. It should perform adequately in typical cold weather, but avoid bending forcefully when frozen.
How should I clean the notepad if it gets dirty?
If the cover or pages get dirty, wipe them gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive water.
Troubleshooting
Ink smudging after writing
Ensure you are using a ballpoint pen or pencil. Some gel pens or fountain pen inks may not adhere well to the waterproof surface and can smudge when wet. Allow ink to dry fully before exposing to moisture.
Pages seem difficult to write on
The waterproof surface may feel different from standard paper. Try applying slightly more pressure with a ballpoint pen or a harder lead pencil. Ensure the writing surface is dry.
Binding feels stiff after getting wet
This is normal for waterproof materials. Gently flex the cover and pages to loosen the binding once the notepad is fully dry.
