Water Soluble? Are these water soluble markers? I bought a calendar and it says I can only use water soluble markers.

I would say no. I can only erase them using antibacterial, waterless hand sanitizer. Nothing else we've tried will erase them completely. They really are a very poor quality. The point collapsed almost immediately using very little pressure. I will not buy this brand again.

These markers are oil based, so water will not be very helpful in cleanup. If you have a flat surface, a very sharp razor blade (be careful) may remove the marker from glass.As far as a chemical, try acetone (nail polish remover) using a q-tip if you need to test on a small area.

I use them on paper and labels, but have not tried them on anything else. They have been terrific for my needs, but think they might not be too successful on other surfaces. Cheers, Sydney

Sadly, no, they are not a gel markers, they are just regular Sharpies in bright colors so the ink just gets absorbed right into the paper. :(

No, I haven't had this problem. I actually have generic markers from the dollar store and they work just fine. I use multiple colors and have not issues.

I can't read what the box says either. However with my experience working with them I can say they are similar to other paint pens out there. I would say they are water base, the paint dries fairly quickly and does wash off with water. As for if they are non toxic or not I can't say (since I can't read what it says) but to be safe I would avoid eating them. Hope this is some help.

I haven't tried using the marker but I suspect the marker will bleed through the stabilizer. I would not use a permanent marker.

I use brothers label makers with their adhesive tape. No markers I've used reliably last through rain, and sun.

Entirely my opinion from testing and experience, I like paper with some weight to it such as Bristol,vellum Bristol, watercolor, or for mix media or dry medium. But try any paper your curious to try it on, it might be different for you. How you blend/use the markers is a definite factor. For example, I can use high quality paper but if I don't understand how to blend/use the markers, it'll still come out bad. Hope that helps!

Bill: Yes the Alex plus is water soluble. It is very easy to clean up but if used outside in wet weather you must paint it. Bob

Yes, you can use a marker on them. They give you a nice white surface to write on. I don't do it but have friends that do. The ones that you do not print on just might be a little cheaper though. Hope I helped.

No, they're not a permanent marker. They are a nice writing type pen. They would smudge.

Magic marker is fine just use permanent marker because you will need to spray them with a scent killer

They are markers...but I would not recommend this set. There were too many that were almost completely dried out. I am very disappointed in this purchase! I bought Tombow brushes before and LOVE them...my suggestion not to buy these particular ones was based on almost 1/3 of them were almost dried out upon arrival. Thank you to another of you who recommends wetting the tip on the ones that appear dried out.

I am sorry but I'm not sure. I ordered the Ultra Fine Point ones and they work really well with coloring in small areas. Hope that helps. I just looked on the markers and they don't say what mm they are.

I use a soft damp paper towel, then a dry paper towel. The paints also wash out of clothes.It's not paints. It's markers. They're just real juicy. Totally washable in my experience.

I'm looking for them too. I went to the crayola website and didn't see them there. This is a fun toy so I hope they have the markers available somewhere. 2 of our markers dried up after 3 uses (the blue and green one). I wonder if neon crayons would work?
