Uni-Ball PX-20 Permanent Marker - White

My house number was faded on the plague so used it to refresh it and worked brilliant saved me buying a new plague

This marker pen is just the job! Cannot comment on its longevity, as I've only just used it, but it worked fine. The nib has to be pumped to get the paint to flow (after first making sure to give the pen a vigorous shake), and then...just write! I have seen at least one comment saying it's messy, but not so within my experience. Obviously try it out first on something that doesn't matter, like a thick piece of cardboard, or some plastic of metal, to get used to the feel of the thing. It's worked very well for me. I used it on an external plastic gas meter cover, to indicate to the meter readers to open the flap on the front with a triangular key, rather than lift the whole darned cover off the wall! The white paint shows up very well.

I bought two of these pens in the lead up to Christmas for creating some Christmas crafts/decorations. They work well, colour pay off is pretty good - though not as good as POSCA. Good alternative if you want something cheaper than POSCA though. The only thing that I didn't get along with was the smell, it's incredibly strong. I'd recommend having a window or door open whilst using them just to let the room aerate!

I have just discovered paint pens. Sticky labels and other such things do not work in sheds or garages but paint pens do!I can not comment on other paint pens but this one has exceeded my expectations. I frequently write on oily and rough surfaces and have found the nib stands up really well when compared to sharpies and old style markers.I expected to get a few days use out of the pen before the nib fluffed out or the paint dried but it has lasted very well.Things I have marked include, tractor tires, oil/fuel filters, plastic storage boxes, rusty steel, rough cut wood, plastics and concrete.The paint sticks well, I have not found any surface it will not mark. The paint withstands moderate abuse when applied.I will never be without a paint pen in my workshop again.

Writes well on any surfaceTotally water and solvent proof when dryGood for fine workLeaks and splattersDries upCan be fixed by1) cleaning the nib carefully with a tissue while holding nib upwards (nib can be accidentally pulled out but easily put back)2) shaking the pen WITH LID IN PLACE3) storing the pen nib downwardsIt's a very cheap product and I have completed a lot of designs with it. If it was more expensive, or if I needed something more reliable, I wouldn't buy it.

I bought this to write on the black plastic lids and handles of thermally insulated flasks (e.g. Coffee, Tea, Hot Chocolate etc.). You have to shake the pen for a good while and press the nib down a few times but what flows out is bright white and shows up well on the plastic. It seems tough. I have also used in on large battery chargers so I know if a flashing led means the battery is fully charged or still charging up (it varies between companies).

If I hadn’t used chalk pens before I might think not working as per other reviews. You have to give it a good shake and pump the nib on a piece of paper until the white is visible to use.I used this to put my son’s name in everything for several days away with school (had a black one too).Inside of welly boots, shoes, luggage, waistband of dark underpants, everything.Very impressed, this worked a treat. No bleeding into the fabric, it stayed where it was put.

Keep the lide screwed tight and other will last really well
