How to use

Before applying the marker, ensure the tyre surface is clean, dry, and free from oil, grease, or dirt to ensure maximum paint adhesion. Shake the marker well with the cap on to mix the paint thoroughly. Remove the cap and press the tip down on a scrap surface until the paint begins to flow into the nib. Apply the marker firmly to the tyre surface, moving steadily to create the desired mark. Replace the cap tightly after each use to prevent the tip from drying out.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 12.7mm tip size meets your specific marking requirements
• Ensure the surface to be marked is rubber-based for best results
• Consider the storage environment to maintain the longevity of the marker

Usage recommendations

For the best results, store the marker in a horizontal position when not in use and always ensure the cap is securely fastened to prevent the paint from drying out prematurely.
