FAQs
Is the entire notebook waterproof, including the cover and binding?
The pages themselves are fully waterproof. The cover and binding are water-resistant but not fully submersible. It's best to keep the exterior as dry as possible for maximum lifespan.
What type of pen works best?
Ballpoint pens and pencils are highly recommended for the best writing experience and fastest drying times. Permanent markers also work well.
Can I use a fountain pen or gel pen with this notebook?
Yes, you can, but ink may take longer to dry on the wax-coated surface compared to standard paper. Allow extra time for drying to prevent smudging.
How durable are the pages against tearing?
The wax coating significantly increases tear resistance, especially when wet. They are much more durable than standard paper in challenging conditions.
Can I erase pencil marks easily?
Standard erasers work on pencil marks, though the wax coating might require slightly more pressure than on regular paper.
What are the dimensions of the notebook?
The notebook is designed to be handy and fits easily into bags and pockets, making it convenient for on-the-go use.
Is the paper recyclable?
Due to the wax coating, this paper is not typically recyclable through standard municipal recycling programs. It is best disposed of in general waste.
Troubleshooting
Ink smudging heavily
Ensure you are using a ballpoint pen or pencil. If using other ink types, allow extra drying time and avoid touching the fresh ink. Clean the pen tip if it appears to be dragging ink.
Pen not writing smoothly
Try a different pen. The wax coating can sometimes create a slick surface. Ballpoint pens are generally most reliable. Ensure the pen tip is not damaged.
Pages feel stiff or sticky
This is normal due to the wax coating. It provides the waterproofing. Ensure the notebook has been stored away from extreme heat, which can soften the wax.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This note pad requires no setup. Simply open to the desired page and begin writing.
Compatibility: Compatible with most standard writing instruments, including ballpoint pens, pencils, and permanent markers. For best results and fastest drying times, ballpoint pens are recommended. Some gel pens or fountain pens may experience longer drying times due to the wax coating.
Care: To maintain the integrity of the pages, avoid prolonged direct exposure to extreme heat or open flames, which could affect the wax coating. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. While waterproof, the cover and binding are best kept dry for longevity. Clean any dirt or smudges from the cover with a slightly damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals.
