Product Information;
Activate
- Brand new markers don’t have any colour in the nib and need to be activated by priming the nib.
- Remove the cap and with the nib facing upwards, press the nib with your thumb to release any trapped air.
- Replace the cap firmly and shake the marker vigorously until you can hear a ball bearing moving in the barrel.
- Using the reverse side of this card, press the nib in and out repeatedly until the colour saturates the nib. Please persist as this may take a while but it will work.
- If after activation the marker is watery, this means that the product is not mixing properly. Repeat the steps above ensuring the ball bearing is moving.
Care
- Store upright – cap end facing upwards.
- Did you know that the nib is reversible. One end is a bullet tip and the other is a chisel tip.
- Liquid chalk erases best when it’s completely dry.
- Stubborn stains can be removed with whiteboard cleaner or isopropyl.
- Avoid spraying liquid directly onto liquid chalk. It’s a water based product and will dissolve very quickly. Instead, spray onto a cloth and then wipe clean.
- Use a lint free damp cloth or magic eraser to remove chalk.
- Do not store in direct sunlight.
- If you’re not sure how the ink will react with your board, do a spot test by picking a small corner, Place a small dot of ink, allow it to dry and then erase.
How to reverse the nib: Use a tissue or paper towel to hold the nib, gently pull out the nib and reinsert it into the barrel. Then turn the nib clockwise a couple of times to secure it. You’re now ready to use the alternate nib and create your masterpiece.
