Lol paint pens, it’s where the worlds of crafty soccer, nay orchestra moms, and graffiti artists meet. I know that the Molotow(yes pronounced like “Molotov”, a clever “bombing” reference) paint pens, and it very much looks like the Posca as well, are actually intended by the manufacturer to be refilled, so it’s not exactly a “hack” but OK. Great tips on refilling refillable paint pens though. Also, brands like Montana, Molotow, etc., actually seem to cater to/ are designed for street artists and graphic designers primarily, but they do tend to be some I’ve the highest quality stuff so they are beloved by all consumers. Thanks for the video!

This is so helpful! I'm working on crafts with my aunt, who is living with progressive dementia, and she is SO focused on color. I am tearing my hair out trying to find the right shades in paint PENS and this will be a great help!

Thank you! I teach art to disabled adults and they love paint markers so we blow through them QUICKLY. :)

Marvelous tip about the PT film! I have nerved damage to both my hands & it's worse on my right. That stuff will make a huge difference. I also use spongy silicon grips on my tools so I don;t have to grip them to use them. At least not very hard. I have some with cups for my finger or thumb.

Thank you for the point about mixing with a medium instead of just water. That's just the answer I was looking for!

Another option if for having trouble unscrewing the cap would be just put some Goo Gone in the seam. Worked really well for me.

Great video. The metal balls are also sold as “ball bearings” at the hardware store, in various sizes.

I haven't found a paint marker yet that does a good red. Montana is okay but it fades quickly. Decoart and Posca reds are awful. Molotow is great but it dries pretty dull, as well. I might have to check out Ironlak. Thanks for your video!

Just make sure the metal balls are suitable for paint or fluids. I've had some rust and ruin the paint... Which is why some brands move over to glass balls instead

how you mix the ink or the paint to refill

As of right now I'm looking for an Empty Paint pen to fill with my own paint. I'm looking to use Oil paint.... How flexible are most of these pens in regards to how many of these are reuseable to refill with Oil Paint vs refilling them with their initial type of paint? Right now I do have my eyes on that Molotow as it does say that it accepts a wide range of Paints and Inks. Any Suggestions?

So now I have a mini Leuchturm sketch that'll have to find a different medium for, maybe India ink. Hope my response isn't too late. On the plus side, they are nice sketch books and can be used for something else for sure.

You can, but I have had mixed results. The biggest issue is that it can be tough to get the right consistency (fairly thin) without making the paint quite transparent. I tend to prefer a small brush or stylus to create shapes other than dots on a mandala...

Check out durablesupply.com. They have tons of paint markers and that big Posca marker that you said was only available in Europe. Durable Supply is located in Tennessee and they have EXCELLENT customer service.

Hi, do you add water to make it thinner ?

@kala.escobar.design

Жыл бұрын

I prefer to use paint that is the right consistency already. Molotow, Ironlak, and Montana brands all make refill paints, or you can open a large Posca and use that to refill the small pens. If I wanted to dilute a paint for a pen, I'd use a medium to thin it rather than water. I like Golden airbrush medium, as it is designed to reduce clogging. Hope that helps! 🙂

I had a Posca shipped from Japan.... This one was actually glued shut. That's actually a thing to take in to consideration among different paint markers. Some are left to unscrew, some are right to unscrew.. if you can't it to go either way then it's glued. In which case figure out which way it's supposed to go based on the brand (I.E your Posca is to the left to unscrew) and keep trying until the glue weakens and opens up.

I like to refill my paint markers with testers model car paint

A latex glove is useful in opening the pens.
