FAQ
Reader questions
Will the brush tip fray quickly on rough paper?
Use light to moderate pressure on very abrasive surfaces, and store caps tightly to prevent drying. Rotate the marker frequently to distribute wear along the tip edge.
Can these markers be blended with other brands seamlessly?
Yes, because the base is water-based acrylic, shuttle art 36 colors dual tip markers layer well with similar systems. Test on a small area first to confirm adhesion and drying behavior.
Do the fine tips clog often if left uncapped for a few hours?
High evaporation rates can cause clogging in dry environments. Keep caps sealed, prime the tip with a quick stroke on scrap material, and clean the nib with distilled water if needed.
Is it safe to use these markers on toys or children’s craft items?
Check the specific product line for compliance statements. Many shuttle art formulations are non-toxic on contact items, but sealing and age recommendations vary by region and retailer.
