Well, I'm back and I don't know how to edit reviews. After using a single black CraftWave Sketchy twin marker everyotherdayish for a month the ink's about depleted. The marker streaks on the chisel's large end refusing to write all together on its tiny side. The brush require decent pressure to mark now, and is noticeably less fine/broken in. I was expecting a bit more life outta this thing, but it's comparable to the amount of ink in a glass magic ink marker.
Now on refilling these... With the lid on, apply pressure to the gray stripe section that holds the brush nib. One can wedge a butter knife to pry out this piece. It came out fairly easy for me, and snapped back in closing up, showing almost no sign of forced entry. As for what to fill these with: it's a gravity feed system a tubey wadding which fits to each tip. You'll need an ink (no paint).
I eye-droppered some Pilot Super Color Ink (despite its "not compatible with other markers" warning) onto the wadding, and that's brought it back to life. Pilot or magic ink might weaken the plastic long term, but might be worth it for stronger writes on outdoor surfaces. There are likely inks out there better suited to refill these (Spectrum Noir?), I just liked what it came with and wished it had more.
This item was fun and affordable to color , never painted a actually train so this was the closest that ever came to doing one , 10/10 will order again ????
WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, PLEASE RESTOCK THESE. AS OF AUGUST 2020 ALL THATS AVAILABLE IS STAINLESS, AND I WOULDNT TRY THAT IF IT WAS THE LAST COLOR ON EARTH. WHICH IT APEARS TO BE. THANK YOU.
