Frequently Asked Questions

How many markers are in this POSCA PC-1MR set?
8 markers in 8 soft pastel shades, all with the 0.7mm extra fine pin tip.

Should I choose the PC-1MR or the PC-3M set?
The PC-1MR pin tip draws a 0.7mm hairline for tiny detail; the PC-3M fine bullet draws 0.9 to 1.3mm, a touch bolder for dots and small lettering.

Do POSCA markers work on rocks and glass?
Yes. They cover rock, glass, wood, canvas and paper; seal handled or outdoor pieces with a clear varnish so the paint stays put.

POSCA or an oil based paint marker: which should I pick?
POSCA is water based paint that layers once dry, so pick it for art on paper, canvas, rock and wood. Oil based markers such as the Snowman metallics grip glass and metal well but smell of solvent, so pick those for marking hard, shiny surfaces.
