• Non-Toxic Art Material – Our refillable paint pens are great for use with our water-based, non-toxic acrylic paints, making them a safe choice for your creative projects.

Choosing your marker is as important as picking the perfect brush for your next woodworking piece. 

Every size brings something special, letting you outline, fill, and add those standout details that make your project uniquely yours.

3 mm Fine-Detail Marker

This empty paint marker body features a pump-action valve along with a reversible round or chisel nib, making it perfect for lettering, outlining, and working along tight wood grain. 

Simply fill it with Angelus Acrylic Paint thinned 1:1 with 2‑Thin for a smooth, easy flow. 

Please note, metallics and neon colors aren't recommended for this size as they might clog the nib.

5 mm All-Purpose Marker

Enjoy versatile writing with this mid-width reversible nib, perfect for all your daily strokes and small fills. 

The starter sets of these paint pens for wood are thoughtfully equipped with 10 spare tips and two handy eye-droppers, making refilling neat and simple. 

The same friendly mix of 1:1 paint to 2-Thin applies here, ensuring consistent results every time.

10 mm Broad-Stroke Marker

Big and bold, this jumbo reversible nib easily covers backgrounds and block lettering. The larger barrel means fewer refills, making it a go-to for large wood signs. 

Plus, it shares the same pump valve and refill method as the smaller empty markers, so switching between them is a breeze.

With Angelus, you can mix up any custom color and easily fill your paint pens for wood. 

Say goodbye to boring basics and hello to vibrant, one-of-a-kind creations, because your project deserves more than off-the-shelf.

1. Choose your marker body. Pick an empty 3 mm, 5 mm, or 10 mm Angelus Empty Paint Marker. Each barrel ships empty, has a pump valve for flow control, and has a reversible round-or-chisel nib.

2. Pick a color. Angelus Acrylic Paint comes in over 120 vibrant standard shades that bond immediately to wood right out of the bottle.

3. Thin for smooth flow. Stir about one part 2‑Thin paint thinner into one part paint. Mix until it flows like milk. 

4. Add durability (optional). Blend in 50% 2-Hard for flexible woods like bendable panels. For rigid, sealed boards, use 75% 2-Hard when maximum scratch-resistance is required.

5. Fill and assemble. Use a precision 0.2 mL eye-dropper to load the mixture into the barrel. Then, cap, shake, and pump the nib to start the flow.

Using paint pens on wood is simple and effective. Just follow a few simple steps, and your designs will come to life with bold, vibrant color.

1. Prep. Start by degreasing and lightly sanding your wood surface. This creates an ideal canvas for paint adhesion.

2. Mix. Combine your Angelus Acrylic Paint and 2-Thin in a 1:1 ratio. If your surface is varnished, add a splash of 2-Hard for better adherence.

3. Fill & Prime. Use an eye dropper to fill your marker barrel with the mixture. Cap the marker, shake it well, and pump the valve to prime the nib until paint flows smoothly.

4. Apply. Apply 2-3 thin coats, allowing each layer to tack-dry between passes. This ensures an even and durable finish.

5. Seal. For outdoor or high-wear items, apply 4-Coat for maximum protection and longevity.

Have you ever reached for a favorite paint pen only to find it dried out or leaking? A little smart care and proper storage are all it takes to keep your paint pens for wood like new.

• Rinse nibs thoroughly with warm water after each use. 

• Always store markers horizontally and cap them to prevent drying out or leaks. 

• Make sure to tighten paint caps and store them in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. This keeps your paint fresh and ready for next time.
