Pentel White Marker

[Denny]

Wandering around the local art supply store a couple of days ago I noticed this white marker made by Pentel in Japan. I decided that it was worth a try for $3.00. This stuff is awesome. You have to shake it well but it then produces a solid white that you cannot rub off with your finger and takes a pencil line perfectly. Even the pencil line does not smudge. It dries instantly and engraves with no chipping or any other of the normal problems. I like easy and this stuff is the best and easiest I have tried. It comes in a 1 inch can about 3 and 1/2 inches tall with the lid. It is a white colored container marked "Pentel WHITE 100W". If you google Pentel white marker you can take a look at it.

Would you recommend the narrow one,or the wide one ?

I got the wide one for faster coverage. I forgot to mention that this marker cleans up instantly with acetone.

cant find these where i live. i did try a "cosco" brand window marker. they aren't suitable. the stuff lays down good, but removes with fingering and doesnt take penciling .

I found another product which worked even better than the Pentel White. While
at an art store looking for the Pentel White I found an interesting Sharpie product.
The name on the marker is "Sharpie Paint -- White, Bold Point, Oil-Based, Opaque
Paint Marker". The marker is totally white and comes in 3 different Point
sizes. I purchased the Bold point which is a large chisel point.
I tried both products and the Sharpie product went on much smoother and was
much easier to write on with a soft pencil, I could even easily erase the pencil
lines without disturbing the white surface. Both products were easily removed
with acetone.

Picked up a White Sharpie today,from my local Business Depot.
All they stock is the "fine point".

Dries slow enough to flow out flat,washes off with Lacquer Thinner.
Mineral Spirits isn't aggressive enough to remove it.

Worked well in my brief test,didn't chip as I was engraving.

The White "fine point" is pretty big,compared to the regular fine point Sharpie markers.
