Product Description

These water-soluble overhead-projection pens work well with the mats. The black, blue, and green colors are the best regarding being removed with water. The red has a tendency of staining much more than the other colors so it is best used for highlighting only. NOTE: Never use dry erase, permanent, or grease-pencil markers. The vinyl is too porous for the lines created from them to be able to be removed. If you have any doubt of the suitability of any particular marker, draw a small line on the border, let sit for awhile, and see how well it can be removed. Better to have a small permanent blemish on the edge of the mat than a permanent map drawn on the entirety of the mat!

We've been using these pens with our play mat and some of the colors stain if you leave it more than an hour (notably red and blue). We have no trouble with the black and green marker colors. This is our 2nd set of this brand and we plan to make sure we clean everything quickly after use and use the red and blue sparingly. I would say it breaks down like this:

Merry Christmas. This gift to my grown son (23) was one he requested even before the holidays. He asked for it right away because he had a group of 4 grown men who remember the hours they spent enjoying D&D as teens. As Master, this product has really served his purposes. Great gift that I credit encouraging his creativity as a teenager.

Some colors stain, but you can get those out by making a cleaning solution; oxy-clean is good. They last a long time, even when left uncapped.
