Faber-Castell 160796 Metallic Markers, Gold, Brush Tip, 2 Pack

The Faber-Castell Metallic Markers in gold offer a versatile solution for adding a premium metallic finish to a wide variety of creative projects. Featuring a flexible brush tip, these markers are designed for smooth, consistent ink flow, making them an excellent choice for calligraphy, hand lettering, and detailed artistic work. The high-quality, water-based metallic ink provides excellent coverage on both light and dark surfaces, ensuring your designs stand out with a rich, shimmering effect.

Advantages

These markers stand out due to their ability to adhere to diverse materials, including paper, plastic, foil, porcelain, glass, metal, wood, and stone. The ink is completely odourless and formulated to prevent bleeding through paper, which maintains the integrity of your work. Because the ink flows evenly without the need for shaking or pumping, you can begin your creative process immediately. Once dry, the marks are resistant to smudging and water splashes, and they can be made even more durable by heat-setting in an oven.

Suitable for

• Calligraphy and hand lettering projects
• Decorating glass, porcelain, and metal surfaces
• Adding metallic accents to wood and stone crafts
• Creative art projects on light, dark, or coloured paper
• Personalizing plastic and foil items

When it may not be suitable

These markers are not intended for use on surfaces that require dishwasher-safe durability, even after heat-setting. They may also not be suitable for highly porous or textured fabrics where ink absorption could lead to feathering.

Key specifications

• Ink type: Water-based metallic
• Tip type: Flexible brush tip
• Colour: Gold

• Drying properties: Smudge-proof and water-resistant

How to use

To use the markers, simply remove the cap and begin applying the ink directly to your chosen surface. The brush tip allows for varying line widths depending on the pressure applied. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application for the best results. If you wish to make the design permanent on heat-resistant materials like porcelain or glass, place the decorated item in an oven at 160°C for 30 minutes after the ink has fully dried.

What to consider before purchase

• Check the compatibility of the surface material with heat-setting if you intend to make the design waterproof.
• Ensure the surface is free of dust or oils before application to achieve a smooth finish.
• Store markers horizontally to maintain optimal ink flow to the tip.

Usage recommendations

For the best results, allow the ink to dry completely before handling the decorated object. If applying to smooth surfaces like glass or metal, avoid abrasive cleaning methods to preserve the metallic finish.
