Are xylene-free liquid markers as good as regular paint markers?
U-Mark's xylene-free paint markers dry as fast as 30 seconds, are suitable for industrial purposes and resistant to water, weather, oils, and solvents. An extra bonus is that they won't have the distinctive marker odour.
My marker's tip is ruined, but there is still ink in the marker. What can I do?
If you still have paint in your markers and your marker tips are not performing, you can purchase replacement tips that allow you to continue to work without purchasing a new marker. This has the added benefit of reducing waste.
