SHARPIE 2173PP Peel-Off China Markers, Black, 2-Count

"China markers", "crayon pencils", "grease pencils", or "wax pencils" were the general-purpose markers 50 years ago before felt-tip markers (FTPs in the following discussion) were invented. DISADVANTAGES OF FELT-TIPPED MARKERS Water soluble FTPs will not mark non-porous surfaces (such as glass, china, hard plastic, etc.)---or wipe off too easily. The slightest dampness will cause soluble FTPs to run. On the otherhand, permanent FTPs are pretty permanent and hard to remove. The ink in FTPs (whether water soluble or permanent) fades after a few weeks in sunlight. ADVANTAGES OF CHINA MARKERS China markers will mark anything, with a little elbow-grease can be completely wiped off any non-porous surface. China markers resist fading in sunlight. USES China markers are ideal for marking china (dishes and bowls), e.g., prices at a garage sale. They can be used for decorating picture windows, or prices on used cars for sale. They are particularly good with garden tags to record what you've planted. They are good for labeling paper packages and plastic or glass containers of food for storage in a refrigerator. They can be used as simple crayons for art projects. Speaking of which, the marks are just as difficult as crayons to remove from fabrics. FIXING SCRATCHED CDs/DVDs However, I purchased them for fixing scratched CDs. I had purchased a kit (a wax pencil and a cloth) years ago for the purpose, but can no longer find the kit for sale. If your disk has a single scratch which is causing a problem---mark over the scratch with black china marker, and then wipe the excess off with a clean cloth, rubbing across (not along) the scratch. And miraculously, the CD will play, most of the time. Apparently the black pigment in the scratch prevents extraneous reflections which cause the problems. This doesn't always work, but at least you've done no damage to the CD, and you can always try a more vigorous method. If your CD/DVD has many scratches, a special kit may be a better solution if the black wax pencil doesn't work.

I recently started a medication that requires me to take it four times a day and even with the pill organizer I was using I couldn't keep track of what time I had taken the last dose, and taking doses too close together would make me sick. I was using a dry erase board on the fridge to write down the times I was taking each pill but often I would forget, especially for the first and last dose of the day. I tried writing on the pill organizer with a dry erase marker but it didn't always want to write on it and it wiped off very easily just from handling it. So then I remembered how much fun i'd had as a child playing with my grandmothers 'china markers' lol, and realized they'd be perfect for writing on the little doors of the pill organizer, thereby being able to track the times I'd taken my medication each day , for an entire week, which has been very useful. It wipes off easily enough to start a new week, but not so easily that it comes off on my hands just from handling it.

So funny story, I asked my husband to order these and sent him a link from my wishlist. It took a long time for these to get to him but I wasn’t in a rush. I had forgotten I’d asked him to order these. So I ordered mine from the same list I sent him the link from. His arrived and they were not the Sharpie brand as advertised. I thought maybe he ordered a different brand and face palmed myself for forgetting that he’d ordered grease pencils as I asked and ordering more myself. When my order came in I thought it would be the Sharpie brand. Again, it’s not, it’s a brand called Hanson. They work well enough for my purposes, 1. Writing the dates on leftovers (the marks wipe off with a soapy sponge and warm water) 2. Writing on my preschool whiteboard so little hands don’t wipe off what I wrote (with a bit of elbow grease and a dry paper towel the marks came off) I like that the grease pencil/China markers are versatile enough for home and preschool use. Four stars for not being as advertised or I’d have given 5.

I received these quickly for a project I was working on. They are good quality and easy to use. It takes a little getting use to pulling the string to release the core grease pencil when needed; but, after some practice it's easy. I will be purchasing more in the future.

I use these mostly for labeling my food containers. No more labels!! It is temporary, no staining, very easy to remove (both before and after washing,) can go in cupboard, fridge and freezer, doesn't smudge easily and writes on almost everything! It works to write notes on things like the fridge, ie, don't eat this, I'm going here, lists... It covers sensitive info on mail. I highly recommend this product.

PERFECT for my use! These grease pens performed exactly as I expected and needed. I used them for military training during some land navigation on my waterproof map case and they were perfect. If you want something that won’t wipe right off your non-porous surface on a sleeve, glove, etc but can be rubbed off clean simply, this is it. It also worked well on porous surfaces, it is just not easily cleaned off. Also very weather resistant.

Nice "permanent" markings that isn't faded by the sun, but only the gods know how to sharpen them. I'm sure there's a secret to it that I don't know, but when I pulled the string to expose a new point, it just ripped off, so I'm stuck with using a knife to sharpen the thing. It leaves a mess on the knife, but acetone takes it off easy as can be. As far as the markers in my garden, even after 2 months of sunshine, they're as dark as the day I wrote them.

O produto tem uma grande vantagem sobre grafite porque aquele sharpie não borra

I wanted to draw on skin, the pencil is too hard
