Pumping/activating Porcelain Painter

The ink is highly viscous and contains a lot of pigment. It therefore requires some time until it appears at the tip, so please proceed with patience and care when pumping. Otherwise the paint might spurt from the side of the shaft if the marker was pumped too much. If this happens, wipe the marker or clean it with water: Remove the tip and rinse, dry completely and replace into the shaft, then carefully continue pumping.Accelerating drying

If you are in a hurry, the drying time can be reduced. To do this, let the object dry for approx. 4 hours, place it in a cold oven and set the temperature to 100 °C. When the temperature of 100 °C has been reached, heat the painted object at this temperature for 30 minutes and then let it cool down in the closed oven.Omitting cutting areas and drinking edges

To activate the valve system, shake the marker with the cap in place (the mixing balls have to be clearly audible). Then remove the cap and push down the tip down on a neutral surface a few times until the ink becomes visible. Please note: 1. The thin 0.8 mm tip only has to be pumped twice. 2. Metallic and glitter colours have to be shaken longer as the pigments are heavier. 3. Proceed slowly when pumping the Marabu Painters as too much pumping can lead to excessive discharge of ink.Dried or dirty paint tips

Insufficient adhesion of Porcelain & Glas Painter

Why do Marabu Porcelain & Glas Painter come off even though the objects are only washed up by hand?

The reason for this is often that the surface was not completely free from dust and oil. New objects should be cleaned with a scrubbing agent/dishwashing liquid and a sponge. Do not clean the objects in the dishwasher, as some rinse aids prevent the ink from adhering to the porcelain. Then thoroughly rub the surface with Marabu Cleaner & Thinner or white spirit to remove any finger prints. Any cleaner residue also has to be carefully removed before painting.Adhesion of Porcelain & Glas Painter on Arcopal®
