Product Information

Fabric and Textiles- offers permanent results after being ironed, but the fabric should be reversed when ironing.

Yes, this product contains non-toxic water-based paint, which is acid-free and is called Opaque. It’s also known for being light-fast, odorless, xylene-free, waterproof, and lead-free when dry. Avoid super absorbent paper that will bleed and also soak the paint instantly. If the paper is not coated, at least it should be fine-grained. Visibly coarse paper may begin to pill when you go over it with the wet pens. Binding and CoverAll papers are not created equal. Some are excellent for pencil art but perform dismally with paint pens. That is why considering the nuances of different papers is critical before selecting one for your Posca pens. Here are the characteristics to look for; Weight Glass – semi-permanent for window displays (draw on the inside of the window and remove by scruubbing off with window cleaner), on glass items you can fit in an oven they are permanent (for light use) after baked.

Another thing about the surface – exterior walls are not always prepared in a way that gives a smooth surface, so it might be hard to draw on. If you scrape your coats of gesso primer on with an extra large palette knife or paint scraper, that could help fill any ridges and give you a smoother surface to draw on. I have had reports that Posca scratches off in some situations, so it would need to be varnished. I have been told that some brush-on varnishes smear it a bit. So the first coat of varnish should be a spray, to set it. Then apply a couple more thin coats of a hard, outdoor, UV protecting varnish like Golden MSA. Usually isolation coats are for acrylic based paintings, and not used for layers of water-based colour. I wonder why you want to apply an isolation layer between your layer of dye and the posca pen work – If I understand your intentions correctly I think you can go straight ahead and work with the Poscas over the top of the colour without an isolation coat in-between. These paint markers are available in a range of sizes, which means that each item has a different period. Nonetheless, each paint marker is equipped with a high-quality nib that makes the pen long-lasting while stopping the pen from running or leaking. As with most painting projects the preparation of the surface is the most important part for creating a long-lasting object. It should be clean and free of oil or wax and if it is non-porous it will need to be roughed up a bit with sandpaper to create a ‘key’ for the paint to latch onto. Skipping the proper steps of preparation and jumping to the fun part of applying the colour causes problems for artists, craftspeople and house painters.

The Best Posca Marker Pens in 2023

Posca pens are among the best things to ever happen to illustrative and creative minds. And if you are wondering what is so special about them, well, they are vivid, opaque, smooth, lightfast, and super versatile paint pens. Paper – All types of paper and cardboard such as tracing paper, photo paper or cardboard. The paint does not bleed through paper. A smooth coat is critical, especially if you intend to blend and layer the paint. The coating minimizes the paint absorption speed, so you have a long window period to work the paint, mix colors and create smooth gradients before it dries. Glass– offers semi-permanent results for glass displays that can be removed with cleaner or permanent results when placed on glass items and baked.
