did you know, you can make a new batch of watered down acrylic paint and water and add the mix?? i have had the same black pen for years!!!

Thank you so much for this video. I use the black and white a lot and they have run out before all my other colors. Adding only water lessened the intensity of the black, so I use added some black acrylic along with the water and it worked. Don't need to buy a new one. Happy I found this video.

Some pens from Asia, particularly Japan is what I'm thinking of, you open the pens by turning right, not left like in the US.

I just wanna thank you so much for introducing me to these amazing paint pens! I absolutely love them and would have never known about them until I starting watching your videos. I have ordered 3 sets of multiple colors, 3M 5M and a pack of 8 bold point. They are awesome pens. And thanks for the refill tip too.

This is great info, thanks! I want to make my own custom color markers. Do you think cheap craft acrylic paint with water would work in these?

Awesome trick, works like a charm! The black Posca marker is the best I've found so far, the colour is a nice solid black (as opposed to dark grey with Bic markers) and it doesn't bleed through paper, so I'm glad it can be revived. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much! This worked amazingly! Great way to get a little more life out of my favorite paint pens!

this saved me!! was running out of a color during an art project for school and i didn’t have enough time to purchase more online because no stores near me carried them.

Just an FYI for everyone, the Shaprie paint markers made in Japan also twist rightward to unscrew. The Italian markers I have do as well. But the German markers do it the normal way...that's all I've got

Thanks! Great video! Ive been trying so hard to get the top off, of course i tried to screw it of the "right way", worked much better screwing it off the other way. Thanks again!

THat´s genius m8!! THANKS FOR SHARING! YEAH!

It's a cool suggestion! A pen which was not drawing anymore started to be useful again, however not with such a strong colour as before.
Thanks for great tip!

[SiegfriedArt]

Thank youuuu!! I filled the black and the red with Golden Fluid color and worked nice.

Well when you get a chance to get some you are going to love the pens! They are so much fun. Haha yea the Jetski was a big project. The pens don't work well on paper so I would suggest canvas. Thank you for the comment.

Great video! Cool video most pens, mechanical pencils, gel pens, and markers are assembled for the ink cartridge to pop out like the Bic pens and Papermate ones plus Pilot G2s to refills or reuse :) I replace the ink cartridges:) Or its just a easy throw them whole in the recycle bin since the recycle sorting process will grind up the plastic and magnetically separate metal particles to remelt and reuse for something new!:)

[Skit.KID]

This was so helpful I'm was painting something and I ran out of ink so I watched a tutorial and this was helpful 😊

[keegannoelle]

this is such a good way to save your poscas! i just can’t get the lid off that you need to refill with water 😂

have any advice for getting that off?

[flower-ldid]

could you replace the water with a solvent or something for faster drying times
