How to use
To use the Sharpie acrylic marker, simply remove the cap and begin applying the ink directly to your chosen surface. The marker is designed for immediate use without the need for shaking or priming. For optimal performance and to maintain consistent ink flow, it is recommended to store the marker in a horizontal position when not in use.
What to consider before purchase
- Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application for the best results
- Consider the intended permanence of the project, as water-based acrylic ink may be removable from certain non-porous surfaces
- Store horizontally to prevent the tip from drying out or ink pooling
Usage recommendations
For the best artistic results, allow each layer of ink to dry completely before applying additional colors to ensure crisp, clean lines and effective layering. Always test the marker on a small, inconspicuous area of your material if you are unsure about surface compatibility.
