Product Information

Full details

The SolaDirect Marker Pen is designed for users who need a permanent, waterproof marking solution across a wide variety of materials. Its key benefit is its versatility, making it suitable for detailed craft projects, industrial applications like car tyres, or general household use. A potential caveat is that its oil-based paint requires proper ventilation during use and may take longer to dry on non-porous surfaces.

FAQs

Is this marker truly permanent?

Yes, the ink is designed to be permanent and waterproof once fully dried on most surfaces.

What surfaces can I NOT use this marker on?

While it works on many surfaces, it's not recommended for direct food contact or on very delicate or unfinished natural surfaces where it might bleed excessively.

How long does the ink take to dry?

Drying time varies by surface. It's generally quick on porous materials like paper or wood, but may take longer on non-porous surfaces like glass or metal. Ensure adequate ventilation during drying.

Can I remove the marker ink if I make a mistake?

On non-porous surfaces, mistakes can often be wiped away immediately with a damp cloth. Once dry, removal may require a solvent like isopropyl alcohol, and testing in an inconspicuous area is recommended.

What is the line thickness?

The line thickness is approximately 2.5 mm, providing a medium-width line.

Do I need to use this in a ventilated area?

Yes, due to the oil-based nature of the paint, it is recommended to use the marker in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling fumes.

Troubleshooting

Pen does not write or ink flow is inconsistent.

Ensure the pen is shaken well before use. Press the tip firmly on a scrap surface multiple times to re-prime the ink flow. Check if the cap was left off for an extended period, which may require more vigorous priming.

Ink smudges after application.

Allow adequate drying time, especially on non-porous surfaces. Avoid touching the freshly marked area. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application.

Tip appears dry or clogged.

Gently clean the tip with a damp cloth or a small amount of isopropyl alcohol. Shake the pen thoroughly and re-prime the tip on a scrap surface.

Color is not as vibrant as expected.

Shake the pen more vigorously to ensure the pigment is fully dispersed. Ensure you are applying to a suitable surface; some very porous surfaces may absorb ink and reduce vibrancy.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly versatile for use on numerous materials.
  • Permanent and waterproof markings ensure durability.
  • Suitable for both detailed artistic work and robust industrial marking.
  • Consistent line width for clear results.
  • Comes in a protective metal casing.

Cons

  • Requires good ventilation due to oil-based paint.
  • May require longer drying times on non-porous surfaces.
  • Not suitable for food-contact applications.
  • Can stain certain porous materials if not applied carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Shake well: Before first use and periodically during use, shake the pen vigorously for at least 30 seconds to ensure the paint is thoroughly mixed.
  2. Prime the tip: Press the pen tip down firmly onto a scrap surface several times until the paint flows evenly. This primes the pump mechanism.

Compatibility:

The SolaDirect Marker Pen is compatible with a wide range of surfaces, including but not limited to:

  • Tiles
  • Cardboards
  • Textile
  • Paper
  • Glass
  • Plastic
  • Metal
  • Wood
  • Rubber
  • Steel
  • Aluminium

Care:

  • Storage: Store the pen horizontally with the cap securely fitted to prevent the tip from drying out and the paint from settling.
  • Cleaning: For minor smudges on non-porous surfaces, wipe immediately with a cloth. For dried paint on surfaces or the pen tip, a solvent like isopropyl alcohol may be required, but test on an inconspicuous area first. Always use in a well-ventilated area.
  • Tip Maintenance: If the tip becomes clogged, gently clean it with a damp cloth or a suitable solvent. Re-prime if necessary.
