2. Prime the Tip: On a scrap piece of paper or disposable surface, press the marker tip down several times until the paint begins to flow. This may take a few presses.

Operating Instructions

Once primed, the Sharpie Permanent Paint Marker is ready for use on various surfaces.

• Application: Apply the marker to the desired surface with steady, even strokes.
• Drying Time: Allow adequate drying time for the paint to set, which may vary depending on the surface and environmental conditions.
• Layering: For opaque coverage, multiple layers can be applied once the previous layer is dry.
• Surface Compatibility: This marker is designed for use on a wide range of surfaces including metal, wood, glass, plastic, and stone.

Maintenance

• Recap After Use: Always replace the cap firmly after each use to prevent the paint from drying out.
• Storage: Store the marker horizontally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Cleaning the Tip: If the tip becomes clogged or dirty, gently wipe it with a clean, damp cloth. Do not use harsh solvents.

Troubleshooting

• No Paint Flow: If paint does not flow, ensure the marker has been shaken well and the tip has been adequately primed by pressing it down multiple times on a scrap surface.
• Inconsistent Flow: If the paint flow is inconsistent, re-shake the marker and re-prime the tip. Ensure the surface is clean and dry.
• Dry Tip: If the tip appears dry, it may be due to the cap not being replaced properly. Try re-priming the tip. If it remains dry, the marker may be depleted.
