Chalk Marker Sakura Crayon Marker WSC19, water-soluble red, wax-based, opaque, lightfast

Sakura Crayon Marker WSC19 is a water-soluble, wax-based chalk-style marker in red that delivers opaque, lightfast coverage on non-porous surfaces. Formulated for clear, vivid marking, the marker is suitable for writing and drawing on chalkboards, glass, mirrors and other smooth surfaces where temporary or changeable graphics are required. The ink combines the look of a traditional crayon with the convenience of a marker tip to create consistent lines and filled areas with good opacity.

Advantages

The wax-based, water-soluble ink produces strong, opaque color that resists fading under normal indoor conditions. Its chalk-like finish reproduces broad, even strokes and fine details depending on the angle and pressure used. Marks can be wiped away with a damp cloth when needed, while remaining stable and legible on dry surfaces. The marker is ready to use for signage, menus, craft projects and temporary displays without the dust of traditional chalk.

Suitable for

• Chalkboards and blackboards in cafés, restaurants and stores
• Glass and mirror surfaces for signage, window displays and decorations
• Temporary menu boards and event signage
• Arts and craft projects on non-porous materials

When it may not be suitable

This marker is intended for non-porous surfaces; on porous materials such as paper, untreated wood or fabric the ink will absorb and produce weaker, less opaque results. Although water-soluble for easy removal with moisture, markings can smear if exposed to water or heavy contact before drying. For permanent outdoor applications or surfaces constantly exposed to rain, a weatherproof permanent marker would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Ink type: wax-based, water-soluble
• Color: red
• Finish: opaque, chalk-like
• Lightfastness: designed for resistance to indoor fading
• Suitable surfaces: non-porous surfaces such as chalkboards, glass, mirrors

How to use

Shake the marker well before use to mix the pigment and binder. Press the tip gently on a scrap surface to prime the flow if necessary. Apply with steady pressure to create either fine lines or broader strokes by changing the angle of the tip. Allow markings to dry briefly on the surface; to remove, wipe with a damp cloth or sponge. For best results, test on a small inconspicuous area to confirm compatibility with the target surface.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended surface: suitable for non-porous surfaces only
• Temporary vs permanent needs: marks are removable with water and may smear when wet
• Indoor use recommended for best lightfastness and longevity
• Test for desired opacity and finish on a sample area

Usage recommendations

Use on clean, dry non-porous surfaces for optimal opacity and wipeability. Store capped horizontally and keep out of extreme heat or freezing temperatures. For bold signage, layer applications after initial drying rather than applying heavy pressure in a single pass to avoid uneven wax buildup.
