Comments about Paint Marker:
The pen works well but it needs a fine tip instead of the medium one that it has.
Comments about Paint Marker:
Felt tip not fine enough to provide a clearly illegible label.

Comments about Paint Marker:
I USED THIS PEN TO LABEL THE FLOWERS IN A MEMORIAL WILDFLOWER GARDEN AT THE LOCAL LIBRARY. ALL PENS USED BEFORE FADED AND WERE UNREADABLE AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. THIS PEN, SO FAR, HAS LASTED VERY WELL AND REMAINED READIBLE ALL SEASON.
Comments about Paint Marker:
This marker is great and very durable. I collect stones from vacation spots and this is the only marker you can use that will stay on the stone and not fade. Great to use with your plant markers.
Comments about Paint Marker:
This is wonderful! I have tried many different ways to id plants but this marker seems like it will really last on the markers.
Comments about Paint Marker:
Not only did I write on my plant stakes with this pen, I also repaired my Rain Gauge which had last it's marking due to old age! A VERY useful tool. I have not had it long enough to know if the paint will dry in the tip, but I have used it twice now and it was just as fresh the second time as it was the first.
Comments about Paint Marker:
Forget what you planted? no more! Mark them!
Comments about Paint Marker:
This works exactly as described and I have had no problems with it drying out or being difficult to use. It stays well on the plant markers even when I get water on them, which is nice. The only improvement I would like to see is a finer tip so that I can write more in a small space.
Comments about Paint Marker:

Comments about Paint Marker:
I had to return Knee Pads and I included the invoice which include the Marker on it. Therefore I could not return this NEVER WORKED marker. I hestitate to purchase from your company because you fail to take the time to check upon the quality of the product you offer. You could spot check.
Comments about Paint Marker:
Now I know what I planted!
Comments about Paint Marker:
I use these to label both flowers and veggies and they truly are permanent.

Comments about Paint Marker:
I ordered two of these markers, thinking that they would be more permanent than pencils or "permanent markers". When I got the paint going, they work quite well, but then, the paint stopped flowing freely and I could not get more to come down the felt tip. I got only a few markers done before the writing got faint. What a disappointment! What worked seemed to work well.
Comments about Paint Marker:
The marker works good. You need to press down on the tip for an extended period of time to get the ink to flow. You get about 2 markers done before you need push down on the tip again.
Has not faded, but has only been about a month.
Comments about Paint Marker:
I tried two other methods of labeling my roses and finally found something that works and doesn't fall off or disappear in a matter of days. Will be anxious to see if it really lasts for another season.
Comments about Paint Marker:
Wasn't sure if a paint marker would be as good as engraving, but it seems to be holding up and certainly is easier to use.
Comments about Paint Marker:
I use this with the garden markers and it seems to work well...very bold color to mark the label. Much neater than grease marker.
Comments about Paint Marker:
Ican now label my plants without worring about names fading
Comments about Paint Marker:
The permanent ink on plant markers is much more effective than carbon pencils that fade away.
Comments about Paint Marker:
Works good and so far holds up in rain and when I water the garden.
Comments about Paint Marker:
Paint Marker goes on real easy with the garden markers. No smearing when putting names of markers

Comments about Paint Marker:
Ink appears to be permanent but takes strong pressure to release from pen. Probably worth it in the long run so ink stays.

Comments about Paint Marker:
Only 1 of the 3 ordered allows the paint to flow smoothly without skipping. It is a great product but some design problem with the flow. But I will order again.
Comments about Paint Marker:
Good product, very useful
Comments about Paint Marker:
This permanent paint marker is great. The paint is durable and the pen is easy to write with.
Comments about Paint Marker:
This marker works great, just as described. Time will be the test of its durability.
Comments about Paint Marker:
Well we have had lots of rain & I did use this about a week ago. The names of the new plants I out in are still on the markers that are made of wood.
Comments about Paint Marker:
Would like a finer point on the felt tip to write smaller lettering

Comments about Paint Marker:
I shook and shook and shook the marker but could not get it to write!! It's not worth the time (read: is money) it will cost me to package it up and return it for a refund.
Comments about Paint Marker:
This is a non-greasy marker than doesn't wash off the garden label tags - great!!

Comments about Paint Marker:
I actually bought two pens and had the same experience with both. Each stopped working well after only using it a few times. Found it extremely disappointing.

First tine using it. It works well, I prefer fine points.

Comments about Paint Marker:
I purchased this marker to use with the plant tags. I wanted to put the botanical as well as the common name for the plant on the front and then some care instructions on the back. The tip is too thick so I can't write small enough for there to be room for all that.

Comments about Paint Marker:
I love these markers. They do not fade or wear off in the weather. I was leary about purchasing any due to some of the other comments about the thick tip and a thinner tip would be nice. However, I use the large marker stakes and have plenty of room to neatly write the common and scientific names of my plants.

Comments about Paint Marker:
I thought the tip was a little too heavy, no matter how lightly I printed, it didn't seem fine enough for me. Maybe have two separate tips? one medium and on the other end finer?

Comments about Paint Marker:
The tip of this marker was thicker than I had expected.. For marking the aluminum markers, it would be better if the point of the marker was thinner.

Comments about Paint Marker:
Took forever for the ink to fill the tip - tip was too wide to write effectively on plant markers

Comments about Paint Marker:
We used the markers to identify plants & trees using both the common names and botanical names in our Edible Schoolyard. It does not wash off even in rain & snow!!

Comments about Paint Marker:
I find that I have to press the tip many times to get it to work, and then can only write one letter and have to press the tip continuously. I am wondering if I received an old marker that is drying out.
Comments about Paint Marker:
Previous to buying this marking pen, I used commonly available "permanent" markers to write on my plant labels. How discouraging it was to return after a season to find the plant names faded and or completely washed away by the elements. It appears that your permanent paint pen will end this frustration.

Comments about Paint Marker:
I wish the point was thinner. It is difficule to write on standard plastic labels .

Comments about Paint Marker:
MAKES A NICE SHARP IMAGE/PRINT ON PLANT I.D. TAGS. DURABLE ENOUGH TO CARRY IN MY GARDENING TOOL KIT. TIP BEGAN WEARING A LITTLE TO SOON FOR MY TOTAL APPROVAL.

Comments about Paint Marker:
I do a lot of labeling...this product lasts a long time...I don't have to relabel every year.
I also leave my labels out all winter long...the paint lasts and doesn't fade.

Comments about Paint Marker:
I wrote a label and let it soak in water for (3) three weeks; it was still a clear-not faded nor smuged label.

Comments about Paint Marker:
Plant titles on rocks. Love the concept, and worked great the first year I bought, seemed to fade this year, and had to redo.
Comments about Paint Marker:
This is a great marker. It does not run or smear and is water proof. It rained shortly after I labeled my flowers and it did not run or fade at all.
Comments about Paint Marker:
Finally, a good way to label plants that won't fade. I've been looking for this solution for a long time.

Comments about Paint Marker:
I purchased the pen to write on your Plant Markers but found the tip too thick to write well.
Comments about Paint Marker:
These are great to use with the plant markers. They work well and are easy to read from a distance. This is the first season, so I'm unsure about how long it lasts. Works much better than the pencil that previously came with the markers.
Comments about Paint Marker:
Along with the large plant markers this paint marker flows easily and really sticks to the metal when watering.

Comments about Paint Marker:
The pen needs to have a very fine point for flower markers and not the wide point.
Comments about Paint Marker:
The paint markers work great because the ink will not run in wet weather.
[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Paint Marker:
The tip of this marker is too broad to write well on a label.
Comments about Paint Marker:
I use these with the large metal garden markers and they have been a god send. It's easy to use. I'll know better after the season how durable they are, but so far I can't believe how I got along without them.

Comments about Paint Marker:
The only thing that I do not like about this marker is the pen head. Its too thick. It would be more useful for me if it had a finer point making the letters easier to print taking less space on the plant markers
Comments about Paint Marker:
Paint marker is easy to use to write on wooden stakes to label plants.
Comments about Paint Marker:
Finally..... a great product for labeling plant tags - those that must endure winter weather and hot summer sun. My perennial garden is now complete.

Comments about Paint Marker:
I have a day lily garden of over 70 varieties, plus a dozen different irises mixed in. Markers I wrote in the past have faded over just one winter and I had to keep a written map to keep track of varieties. When this one says "permanent", they mean business. It may take a little practice when writing on metal, but it works fantastic!

Comments about Paint Marker:
I really like the pen and the fact that it didn't fade, however when I went to use it again months later, it had dried up.

Comments about Paint Marker:
This marker is easy to use, dries fast, no mess.
This is my first time using this product, hope it
winters well and stays on my metal markers for more than a year.
