Can you give me some tips about your niche hobby?
Can you give me some tips about your niche hobby?
Maybe something you learned the hard way, or something you found out right before making a huge mistake.
E.g., for audiophiles: don't buy subwoofers from speaker companies, and don't buy speakers from subwoofer companies.

Don't use Sharpies on cheap acrylic paints. They will dry out immediately and be ruined.

Sharpies are made with alcohol-based ink, and alcohol happens to be the perfect solvent for cleaning up dried acrylic paints. So what's really happening is the tip is getting gunked up with re-wetted paint.
I'd bet you could give the tips of those sharpies a brief soak in some isopropyl alcohol, and/or a firm wipe with a wash cloth or paper towel soaked in the isopropyl, and they could be somewhat recovered (assuming they have plenty of ink in the tank)
That being said, I still would not recommend this practice. Better off with a paint based marker or something.

Thanks for the tip!
I usually learn through trial and error and have found other markers/pens that do work.
