The Drawing Gum markers allow an easier use of the product, and a more precise application with more or less fine lines depending on the wick used: 0.7 mm or 4 mm round.

They must be primed before the first use:

• Shake the marker firmly, cap closed, to circulate the ball
• Then, on a sheet of paper, press the tip several times to soak the paper with paint.
• If residue forms on the wick, it is easy to remove the excess material with your fingers. It is advisable to clean the 0.7 mm plastic wick regularly after use by taking it out of its base and running it under warm water.

If necessary, a spare wick is integrated directly into the cap.

They should be stored horizontally with the cap closed, and can be kept for 6 months after the first priming at moderate room temperature (15-25 degress C).

The marker is a very practical all-in-one tool due to its easy handling and use. It is a nomadic product that can be taken everywhere. It can be used in addition to the bottle version which is more adapted to large applications.

Caution: air travel can cause excess product on the wick and in the cap. Carefully open the cap and if necessary, clean the wick and cap before starting to decorate.

For Drawing Gum markers with 4mm wicks, you can purchase spare 4mm wick packs consisting of 4 wicks: two round wicks and two beveled wicks for thick or thin calligraphy strokes. This extends the capabilities of the marker while prolonging its life.
