You don’t need the scissors, just twist the cap and it breaks the plastic. I love these paint markers as well.

Thanks for watching and I'm glad that you enjoyed the video. I own A LOT of paint, so if you can end up buying less paint, that's a good thing! There's so many brands out there and so many types, it can be hard to know where to start!

Very useful video. THank you for sharing your thoughts & showing us how the pens performed.

I'm so glad that you found it useful. It is nice to see how pens perform before you buy them, otherwise it can be a very disappointing experience. Thanks for watching and for your kind comment.

Thank you for posting. I agree with your take on the Molotow - - super expensive and limited use. Dried out quickly and as you showed in the video. If you try and shake to dispense it, it bleeds and leaves a glob.

I'm glad that you enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing your experience with the Molotow paint markers, I'm glad that I'm not the only one running into issues with them! Considering the expense, I was really surprised how quickly I ran into issues with them.

Great video! How fast does the paint dry? Is it possible to mix colors?

Thank you! The paint dries pretty quickly, it depends on the humidity in the air and how thickly you apply it. As I'm in a semi arid climate, it's dries very quickly for me. Usually by the time I go to put down more color, the paint I've already added is dry. I haven't tried to mix colors on a project, that would be a little bit tricky with a paint pen because it does dry quickly. Usually if I want to mix colors, I tend to use a brush and paint. But there's no reason you can't try mixing 2 paint colors together while still wet.

What’s the difference between acrylic and mat paint pens??? I’m just starting out and don’t know the difference

Good question. I didn't cover it in the video, so thanks for asking. In my searching, I generally don't see a lot of paint pens that indicate if they have glossy or matte acrylic paint in them. It often depends on the brand on how shiny or matte the paint will be. Generally pastel colored paint pens will have a more matte finish due to the fact that there is white paint mixed in with the color. But looking through my sample book, most of the paint pens aren't really glossy. They generally have a more balanced, muted finish. If you are looking for something shinier and brighter, then look for metallic paint pens. I hope that answers your question!

Twist the cap and it will open. No need to use any sharp object

I can’t see the gold on the blue background why is that??

It could be the lighting and my camera angle. Depending on the quality of the paint pen (how opaque the paint is) and how dark or light the background is, this will effect the intensity of the gold color.

glasses with ring lights is problematic.

Yes, it's always a challenge. But it's something that I'm working on improving.
