Product Description

Liquid Chalk - Works like a Marker Dries like Chalk - Set of 8 Earthy Colors...Used by Starbucks on their Coffee of the Day Menu Boards. Liquid Chalk offers an innovative alternative to traditional chalk. They work on any non-porous surface. No dust. No smearing. They easily wash off any non-porous surface. The markers blend beautifully-allowing you to color your world exactly how you want it to look. The chisel tips on the markers measure approximately 6mm. To start: Always shake well with the cap on to mix the ink. The first time you use any marker depress the tip on scratch paper until the ink completely fills the tip. Some folks prefer to "pre pump" all the markers before starting a project.For text: Write as you would with any marker. Depress tip on scratch paper to refill tip as needed. Youâll love the vibrant colors.For a painterly effect: Color in with first color and allow to dry completely. Apply second color using cross hatch strokes to achieve coverage and a textured effect.To blend colors: Use colors over one another while wet. Other tools such as soft paintbrushes or cotton swabs can be used to blend. Allow extra time for blended colors to dry completely. Dab tip of marker on scratch paper to clean colors.To erase: Spray with an ammonia based cleaner (such as Windex) and wipe with damp cloth or paper towel. For thicker applications of color allow to soak then wipe off.

I own a coffee shop and was using "Bright Sticks" to write our menu items and specials but was a little tired of using just the 4 neon pastel colors that are available. I tried several different brands but was very dissapointed until I found Chalk-ink's products! This brand is nice because you can see the color immediately, it comes in many many colors, and is easy to apply. Some of the colors come off easily w/ water and some are a little harder but I just use window cleaner and it comes off fine. The only negative is that some of the colors are not as solid as others (the darker colors do not apply as well and you may have to repeat) Make sure you put the cap on tightly as the tip can dry out very quickly. Bright Sticks have a longer life but Chalk-ink is way more fun to use. (I wish we could get all the colors in a fine point but the 6mm is fine for most jobs)

1.0 out of 5 stars do not use on chalk board painted walls, October 15, 2010

These pens will ruin your chalkboard painted wall. You can not get the imprint off. You will have to repaint. And the company agrees that they won't work on chalkboard paint on walls. Too bad they don't warn you on the package of their very expensive markers.

from Chalk Ink company:

Unless you have a very hard surface like a porcelain on steel board or a manufactured, baked surface, or a semi-gloss painted surface- you will always have that issue. Chalk paint is very porous and not hard so it is something that will need a regular touch up. It's the nature of the material.

While reading a blog the other day, I ran across this product. Since I adore chalk boards, and have one that belonged to my 3rd. or 4th. cousin. I keep it on my kitchen wall and write quotes or "thoughts for my day" on it. The set I ordered is called "earthy" and I love to write or draw with it. Colors are great, "warm and cozy". I think You'll love the liquid chalk.
