I was looking for direction in using Sharpie oil based markers, for the first time. You satisfied my search with excellent commentary and illustration. Thank you!!
Using sharpie oil markers for years and very good. Noticed of recent a few things. A sign on metal outlined with black oil marker - ended up “ chalking” after 5 years. Would rub off black on hand. Looked up oil paint vs enamel and yes oil paint will chalk over years. This was done on outdoor project lettering on old truck door. Still researching great video
I think this was the most helpful video I have ever seen. Thank you so much! I was scouring Amazon reviews for what would work best on wood with no luck. I’m going to be using the oil based pen to write on wood slice coasters that I’m using as table numbers for my wedding.
Thank you for that video. I paint signs and I needed something to do the lettering and I was having a hard time figuring it out and now I will buy an oil-based sharpie!
I'm planning on painting a skateboard for indoor display, but want the artwork to last. I'll be putting down a base coat of paint, and drawing on top of it. Based on your video, looks like I'll be going with oil-based pens. Thanks for the informative video!
The regular sharpie on wood dries out faster because the wood is porous and also sharpies dry up fairly quickly if the cap is off to long, even if you are writing.
You are a good teacher. How do you clean a sharpie water-based paint marker between uses? PS I am a trained graphic designer and your hand-lettering is exceptional. I subscribed, now I am curious what else you have videoed..
Thank you!! I have done a lot of hand lettering in the past, but mostly on my Facebook page ( Facebook.com/welcome2thewoods) on Live streams. Feel free to check it out if you're interested! As far as how to clean water based paint marker between uses, I usually just roll the tip against a paper or rag to remove build up and then store horizontally so it doesn't dry out.
Hey Melissa. I want to write my granddaughters name on a chair I painted with chalk paint. I'll topncoat with water based poly. What's your thoughts and thank so much Jeff
I was having a difficult time using paint markers over and spray-painted MDF. The oil based sharpie in white that had an extra fine point was basically trash. There are multiple videos that show a problem with that nib. Do you think if I try a fine pointin oil base that I would be able to paint on that surface?
I really enjoyed your video! I want to paint the raised letters on the Tailgate of my 1960 Ford pickup. I think I will have better control and could make a better job using an oil based sharpie instead of a paint brush. Would you agree? Also I'm going to distress the Tailgate slightly, sanding through the top layer of paint and exposing the primer beneath and the put a Matt clear coat on. Can I clear coat over the sharpie? Thanks in advance.
For an application onto Kydex which is a thermoplastic with a very fine texture on it (think light-medium sandpaper) which would you recommend, oil, acrylic, or regular sharpie(for the black)? It needs to have staying power, it's going on something to be worn. On a texture like that will the lines still have straight edges? Would these work with a stick on stencil, or would it bleed becsuse of the texture ? Also which spreads more evenly? If I had to do an inch wide swath but with fine edges, which appears more solid, and not like multiple lines next to each other? Any brand or type you could recommend for this application? Thank you very much for making this video. I basically just need black and neon green, but a good variety would be nice for future products. Thanks again.
I'm using oil based sharpies on faux stained glass project. Turning out pretty but not as bright as regular sharpie but no streaks like regular ones. I may do one where i do some spaces with regular and some with oil based. Just remember regular sharpies streak glass no matter what!
I had something printed on canvas to use as an alternative wedding guestbook. What would you recommend for my guests to sign? The canvas has some sort of finish to it so it’s a tiny bit slick.
Hello Ms. Woods, I would like to know if I use a oil base sharpie on a raw wood coaster, would I be able to varnish it or should I moge poge it with the brand that is for dishwasher safe. I like you channel and will continue to watch for more. Have a great day
Regular sharpies are made with a highly fluid solution of dyes in alcohol-based solvents which dry through absorption and evaporation. If you use them on raw absorbent surfaces like wood they will be quickly sucked dry. Oil-based markers are a more viscous suspension of pigment in oil and alcohol solvents. They dry much less by absorption and evaporation and more by oxidation. They bond on top of the surface of the wood and harden, which is why they're more efficient. I'm just about to release a video all about this, and the chemistry of inks in general if you're interested.
Great video! This helped a lot in making my decision on which paint marker to get! I’m painting my bike so I’m going to choose the oil based due to the lasting durability on the surface. Thanks again! 👍🏻
Nicely Done! I am classroom teacher, looking for a way to number a computer cart made out black metal. Tried sticker covered with packing tape, epic failure. Any suggestions. I just need the students to be able to quickly find their laptop slot and charger on the cart.
This answered some questions I had. Thank you. One of those... Why isn't my new oil pen taking to my jacket like the other pen did? Oh, the other pen is a water based Posca. xD
If i needes to color in a 3d printed figure. Would i go with paint or maker( if paint oil or water) Also would coloring in small details bebtoo hard because the paint has such a wider tip?
What style sharpie be best to touch up painted metal surfaces and that will last? I tried using a regular sharpie and on metal that's kinda rough and bumpy, the top just dries out. Edit: I'm guessing oil based after watching the full video. It's thicker so should work.
I've stained my wood clock project and then used oil based sharpies for the designs and words, however I'm not sure what finish I need to use so they don't smear! Help
Thank you for this. I'm drawing wallpaper on my (drywall + painted) walls. I'm going to assume its latex paint. Was looking for something to draw intricate designs so I didn't have to use a itty bitty paintbrush this time (I've done it before!). So looks like perhaps oil based sharpie paint pen is my answer.
This was great thank you! One more question for my specific application. I want to draw up a calendar of sorts on a whiteboard which is magnetic. White background with ability for placing magnets is the real goal. I tried using Sharpie permanent marker but found that the Expo dry erase markers, when writing over the Sharpie, took it right off when wiping clean. I know the chemistry of that reasoning but do you think oil based paint pens would be better for a whiteboard? I don't have any or I'd experiment :) Thanks! Subscribed!
How about on wall? I paint my wall black and need a white marker to do the job. Do you recommend using oil based rather than water based? Your help will be great..thanks in advanced
The oil based will be your best bet for opacity trying to achieve white over black, however be warned you'll need to use a primer to ever cover it up in the future!
@@WelcometotheWoodsBlog same question but white wall with black and using a stencil. Oil based? And do you think it will be a bugger to ever paint over?
I work with plaster which is porous so wondering if the oil based sharpie is best. Could it scratch off the plaster easily though considering you say oil based plaster is thicker than a normal sharpie?
Being that a photograph is a slick surface and an autograph you want to dry very quickly, I would not recommend using a paint pen. I'd use a regular sharpie permanent marker to autograph photos and it should be plenty permanent.
I’m making my own wood sign as a guest book for my wedding. I’ll be sealing the wood first with polycrylic. What is the best pen to provide for guests to use?
The oil-based will be the most durable and even though polycrylic is water based, I still think the oil-based sharpie will stick to it just fine. If I were you I'd test on a scrap piece of wood that you have poly on (dried at least 24 hours) then do a scratch test. For something as important as your wedding guest book, you don't want it to get ruined!
Thanks , very informative. I used oil based sharpie on a finished wood tray. Do we need to apply any sealant after painting on a finished wood, so that the design will not fade away
Thanks for the video, I didnt' even realize there were different types of Sharpies. Can I go over the regular sharpie with another type to cover up the marks I made for a growth chart? They are just the short lines you use for measurement.
Hi Cool video! I want to colour in my hard plastic guitar pickguard in neon yellow. I have order a neon sharpie permanent marker and an oil-based paint pen. Which would you use please? I just need to colour in the middle white portion of the laminate, as the top and bottom layers of the pickguard are black. Thank you! I feel like the regular Sharpie will be easier to control but not sure!
It might be easier to control but it's unlikely to be as opaque as a paint pen. I'd do the paint pen in neon yellow and just be careful (be sure to have a sheet that you press the point down onto so you accidentally don't splatter paint out)
Hey. hi there .is an oil based sharpie best for painting a design on to an electric guitar? guitar has polished finish....idea is to do the design on top..then cover it in a clear laquer...andy ideas what best laguer type would be..thank you
This video was VERY informative because I had no idea that Sharpie even made water- and oil-based options until I bought an oil-based recently! I ended up purchasing a large whiteboard on one side and black board on the other side from home depot, and I cut it in half to use each side. Luckily, I tested all my new markers on the sides that weren't going to be used first before decorating, but I am curious now as to how you can remove the oil-based sharpie the easiest? If anyone can help me, it would be GREATLY appreciated! Because I would like to use to to outline my calendar since it doesn't erase easily, but I want to make sure I can get it off in the future if I decide to switch up what I want on my blackboard side (and it's not like your typical chalk board, I'm not entirely sure what material it is, or if it's just a rough plastic)
Clorox disinfecting wipes will take oil based pens of a white board. Anything smooth and glossy usually, i do this all the time at home with my oil based pens. You have to put a bit of pressure to get it to start removing. But once it starts coming off the rest comes off easy.v
So if you made the mistake using the regular sharpie on wood and want to switch to the paint pen.. can you use the paint pen over the sharpie.. would there be any issues that I would need to be aware of?
Oil based can go on top of just about any other marker. The only thing id be worried about would be the sharpie bleeding around the edges of the oil based pens.
I've been in the sign business for 30 some odd years and I have never seen those sharpie paint pens before now I guess it goes with the old saying never to old to learn......
Oil will be more durable, opaque, and last longer in my opinion. I do graffiti in sketch books but also have drawn on numerous items. Like coffee cans, clothes, and shoes. 👍
Hi, so I want to remove some oil based permanent white sharpie from a nylon jacket, do you know what works to remove a stain? I have tried soap and alcohol, but it doesn’t come off.
Vinyl is a form of plastic, both water-based and oil-based will stick to it. If what you're writing on will come in contact with water, I'd use oil-based for more durability.
That very last sign you made.... you used an oil based Sharpie & it look like some kind of paper board. Did you use reg. Acrylic paint on it & then letter it w/ the Black oil base Sharpie paint pen? I have been LOOKING for this ANSWER. I'm making a sign for my friend....I've used gesso, then my regular acrylic (WHITE) on the panel (made of press cardboard) looks nice so far. NOW, I don't know which SHARPIE to use for the lettering??? Please HELP!! I have a regular Black ( FINE permanent) Sharpie & a extra fine (also, Black) Oil-based Sharpie. I do know I'm going to need the FINE, Extra Fine will take me forever to cover all LETTERS!! The Acrylic paint i've used is a Matte finish. I think the lettering should be Matte too. PLEASE, WHAT SHOULD I DO? She needed this gift b4 Christmas!!!!!!!!! And I DON'T want to mess it up!!!! Thank You @ Welcome to the Woods!!!
Hi, oil based sharpie paint marker save for DIY on glasses? Can it be wash away by soap water? Is it water proof, and permanent lasting? Waiting for your reply. Thank you!
Oil based is water proof and cannot be washed away with soap and water. It will eventually fade after repeated hot cycles in the dishwasher, though. I definitely think it's one of your best bets for glasses. Good luck with your DIY!
@@WelcometotheWoodsBlog I did it on glass cookies jar, I am so worry it would be gone after wash by soap water. Is it really safe? It should stay for how long to let it dry before I wash please? Thank you!
They should hold up if you use them to decorate leather sneakers. I've tried numerous paint pens designed for fabric and I think the oil based sharpie hold up better.
Oil based paint pens work better for marking lumber, tar paper, and concrete, as well as steel when doing fabrication work or working on a building. For surfaces that will get painted, stained, or left as is, orange chalk lines and carpenter's pencils are better. On hard smooth surfaces, marks from markers can easily be removed with alcohol or other solvents.

Can i use oil sharpie over oil pastels
Are the oil based sharpie pens good for leather( sneakers) or are there better options?
They should hold up if you use them to decorate leather sneakers. I've tried numerous paint pens designed for fabric and I think the oil based sharpie hold up better.
Does the paint dry quickly?
It takes around 3 minutes for paint pens to dry!
@@WelcometotheWoodsBlog Thank you.
Is this ok on walls to cover missing plaster? V tiny pieces
If the paint you used on the wood was water based, the ink would soften the paint and muck up the nib so they get stopped up
Thank you so muchhh!!!!
Oil based paint pens work better for marking lumber, tar paper, and concrete, as well as steel when doing fabrication work or working on a building. For surfaces that will get painted, stained, or left as is, orange chalk lines and carpenter's pencils are better. On hard smooth surfaces, marks from markers can easily be removed with alcohol or other solvents.
I painted my my wall oil based sharpie. Is that okay? Google won’t tell me. 🥺
