Chalk Crayon Marker Sakura CRAYON MARKER WSC50 — white, water-soluble, wax-based, opaque, lightfast

Sakura CRAYON MARKER WSC50 is a white chalk-style crayon marker that combines a wax-based, water-soluble formula with opaque, lightfast pigment. It is formulated for writing and drawing on non-porous surfaces such as chalkboards, glass, windows and other smooth surfaces where white, removable or semi-permanent marking is required. Supplied as a single marker, this product is intended for situations that need clear, high-contrast white lines and coverage.

Advantages

The wax-based, water-soluble composition provides opaque white coverage that remains lightfast and resists fading under normal indoor lighting. The chalk-like appearance is achieved without the dust associated with traditional chalk, and the marker lays down consistent, easy-to-control strokes for both writing and illustrative work. Because the formula is water-soluble, marks can be removed or adjusted with appropriate cleaning methods on most non-porous surfaces.

Suitable for

• Writing and menu boards in cafés, restaurants and retail settings
• Window signage and seasonal decorations on glass
• Temporary labels and markings on non-porous surfaces
• Art and craft projects that require opaque white highlights on dark backgrounds

When it may not be suitable

This marker is intended for non-porous surfaces; it will not perform as intended on porous materials such as paper, untreated wood, fabric or raw plaster where the wax may not produce opaque coverage and may be absorbed. Because the formula is water-soluble, marks may be affected by prolonged exposure to moisture or outdoor weather unless protected.

Key specifications

• Color: white
• Ink type: wax-based, water-soluble
• Opacity: opaque coverage designed for high contrast on dark surfaces
• Lightfastness: formulated to resist fading under normal indoor light
• Surface compatibility: designed for non-porous surfaces such as chalkboards, glass, windows
• Supply format: single marker

How to use

Shake the marker well before use to ensure even pigment distribution. Test on a small, inconspicuous area of the target surface to confirm removability and appearance. Apply using steady pressure for uniform lines; multiple passes increase opacity if needed. To remove or alter marks, use a damp cloth or appropriate non-abrasive cleaner on non-porous surfaces. Follow surface care recommendations to avoid scratching or damaging finishes.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended surface: designed for non-porous surfaces, not for porous materials like untreated wood or paper
• Removability: the water-soluble wax formula is removable but may require moisture and gentle cleaning
• Indoor vs outdoor use: prolonged exposure to moisture or weather may affect durability
• Finish effects: provides a chalk-like, matte white finish rather than a glossy paint-like result

Usage recommendations

For best results, store the marker horizontally and cap it tightly after use. For long-term displays on glass or chalkboards, evaluate removability periodically and avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the surface. When creating detailed artwork or precise lettering, work with light guidelines and build opacity in layers rather than pressing excessively hard on the tip.
