FAQs
Can I use this marker on fabric?
Yes, you can use the Uni-Ball POSCA PC-8K Gold Marker on fabric. To make the ink permanent, iron the fabric on the reverse side. The ink can withstand washing, but it's recommended to test a small area first.
How do I make the ink permanent on glass?
To make the ink permanent on glass, bake the design at 160°C (320°F) for 45 minutes, and then apply a clear varnish.
Is the ink waterproof?
The ink is water-resistant when dry, but it is not completely waterproof. To increase water resistance, especially on surfaces like wood or glass, seal the design with a clear varnish.
Can I replace the tip?
Yes, the tip can be removed and replaced for extended use. This allows you to continue using the marker even if the tip becomes worn or damaged.
What kind of surfaces can I use this marker on?
You can use this marker on metal, glass, plastic, stone, fabric, paper, and wood. It works best on smooth, non-porous surfaces.
Is the ink permanent?
The ink is permanent on many surfaces after following the specific instructions for each material. For example, use heat on textiles, porcelain, and terracotta, and apply a clear varnish on metal, glass, and wood.
How do I store the marker?
Store the marker horizontally to ensure the ink is evenly distributed and the tip stays saturated.
Troubleshooting
Marker isn't writing or the ink flow is inconsistent.
Shake the marker well with the cap on and prime the tip by pressing it down on a surface several times until the ink flows consistently. Clean the tip with water if it has dried.
Ink is too transparent or not covering the surface well.
Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Apply multiple coats of ink, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next. Shake the marker well between coats.
Marker is not writing on a specific surface.
Ensure the surface is compatible with the marker. Non-porous surfaces generally work best. Test the marker on a hidden area first to check for adhesion.
Ink is smudging after drying.
Allow sufficient drying time. If smudging occurs after drying, consider sealing the design with a clear varnish, especially on materials like wood or glass.
