great stuff love how you give us a good half inch more than a sakura if i knew that wouldve bought white one instead of white sakura... Really good sh*t
Have only tried silver but it's a good opaque valve marker w/ beautiful oil-based silver! (I might be biased because the k71/Uni/SmashKO nib-style is one of my fav's for smaller valve markers).
They do come around 1/3 to 1/2 full, but i quickly found my remedy for this at Micheals & HobbyLobby- just grab 3 or more of their silver xylene-based valve markers that they sell as singles (like silver Prismas or Treehouses) & dump them into the Uni. Will increase odor, but doing this on top of adding a tiny amount of appropriate thinner will make them run smoother & add drip potential, while still keeping the silver looking opaque & just as fresh imo. Never had any inconsistent color/opacity with this mix from my experience. (I have yet to try running gk through one of these, so cannot comment on that.)
The nib can kinda gum up after it's been juiced then not used for a while, but this is remedied by soaking the nib in xylene or paint thinner for a while... But I always recommend just throwing on a fresh nib!
*Anytime you EVER buy a Uni Broad, SmashKO, or K71/72/73, you should ALWAYS buy extra nibs! The bodies will outlast the nibs atleast 90% of the time & they are all easily refilled.
these are really great markers, and are extremely versatile. One thing, don't believe the hype about the waterproof business. If you write on wet metal, (dumpster, lightpost, mailbox, etc.) , they will get a bit "stringy and cakey". You can't expect to have some magic bullet that works on EVERYTHING! Like I said, they come through most of the time and on most surfaces. (Just try not to let them get too hot. They get hella mushy and stringy when they're all heated up. The End.
The thing I love about these is that you don't need to apply a lot of pressure to what your writing on so you can get up to those really tall spots and still produce a good tag
I was pleasently suprised as to how good these are. Goes on like butter, but not like melted jello butter that'll smash in your pocket. Although that's all good, their most impressive aspect is the look. Black does. not. fade. Or crack, dry out, or splinter. The silver holds its opacity, and looks like a mirror even after a month of rain and a month of snow. Only problem is keeping it in the little bag and this will dust your fingers pretty good. But the price literally can't be beat, scoop more than one, and enjoy
