Instructions:

The surface has to be free from dust and grease before painting. Now you are ready to apply the base coat in the desired colour, e.g. with Marabu Decormatt. Leave to dry thoroughly.

Now you can apply individual designs with the Deco Painter. If you do not want to work free-hand you can use tracing paper. Place the paper template of the desired design on the tracing paper, fix it lightly with adhesive tape to prevent it from slipping and trace the outlines with a thick pencil.

Shake the Painter well before use with the cap in place. Pump the tip by pressing several times until the ink shows.

Then start writing with the marker on some paper, not directly on the object to be painted. Now the transferred design can be traced with the Painter. After use replace the cap until it clicks in place. Store horizontally!
Effective writing with the calligraphy pen

Always keep the calligraphy tip in the same position while writing to obtain more effective lettering.Even paint flow

Pumping has to be repeated during painting to ensure even paint flow. Close the cap, shake the marker and only pump 2 to 3 times. Never leave the marker open for too long as this can dry out the tip. Store horizontally!Closing the caps

Please follow these guidelines to enjoy your markers for as long as possible: 1. Never leave the markers open for too long, not even during painting, as this can dry out the tip! 2. Remove any excess paint, always clean the markers and reclose the cap tightly! 3. Always store the markers horizontally.Cleaning painting objects

All objects have to be free from dust and grease before painting.Valve system/pump system: Pumping markers

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

Simply remove dried or dirty pain tips from Deco Painter, Porcelain Painter, Glas Painter, Textil Painter plus or Textil Glitter Painter from the marker and clean them with water. Soak in warm water for a while if necessary. ThenWeather resistance of Marabu Deco and Brilliant Painter

How can I clean dried up Painter tips?

The tips can be taken out of the marker and rinsed and cleaned under the tap. Then let the tips dry thoroughly and place them back into the marker. Start pumping and continue painting. Never leave the markers without the cap for too long to prevent them from drying out. The markers should be stored horizontally.
