- High visibility, opaque colours
- Writes wet and dry hard
- For best results and less mess, clean when the chalk is completely dry
- Easy to clean - chalk dissolves with water
Activate
- Brand new markers don't have any colour in the nib and need to be activated by priming the nib.
- Remove the cap and with the nib facing upwards, press the nib with your thumb to release any trapped air.
- Replace the cap firmly and shake the marker vigorously until you can hear a ball bearing moving in the barrel.
- Using the reverse side of this card, press the nib in and out repeatedly until the colour saturates the nib. Please persist as this may take a while but it will work.
- If after activation the marker is watery, this means that the product is not mixing properly. Repeat the steps above ensuring the ball bearing is moving.
Care
- Store upright - cap end facing upwards.
- Did you know that the nib is reversible. One end is a bullet tip and the other is a chisel tip.
- Liquid chalk erases best when it's completely dry.
- Stubborn stains can be removed with whiteboard cleaner or isopropyl.
- Avoid spraying liquid directly onto liquid chalk. It's a water based product and will dissolve very quickly. Instead, spray onto a cloth and then wipe clean.
- Use a lint free damp cloth or magic eraser to remove chalk.
- Do not store in direct sunlight.
- If you're not sure how the ink will react with your board, do a spot test by picking a small corner, Place a small dot of ink, allow it to dry and then erase.
How to reverse the nib: Use a tissue or paper towel to hold the nib, gently pull out the nib and reinsert it into the barrel. Then turn the nib clockwise a couple of times to secure it. You're now ready to use the alternate nib and create your masterpiece.

FAQs
View allMy chalk is watery, how do I fix it
There's a small ball bearing in the barrel of your marker, you should be able to hear it moving when you shake your marker. If you can't hear it, the ball needs to be to dislodged - tap the marker firmly on a solid surface a few times e.g. the kitchen bench, then shake the marker vigorously.
The ball bearing moving in the barrel is essential for mixing the chalk and water solution. As always, make sure to shake your marker before each use.
Why isn't there black and white markers in the packs?
We've deliberately left black and white out of our packs and it's simply due to suitability with our planners. If you purchase a black planner, you don't want a black marker same with a white background and white marker - to save you from having an unusable marker, we've opted to sell them separately.
Sorry but we aren't able to swap marker colours in the packs as they're pre-made.
What surfaces are compatible with chalkboard markers?
Smooth non-porous surfaces work best. Such as: laminated magnet material, glass, metal, plastic, granite, glazed ceramic, porcelain chalkboards, chalkboard contact paper paper, vinyl labels
My chalk isn't bright like the pictures
Please follow the steps above to make sure the ink is well mixed. Shake vigorously prior to each use and in between use, store the marker with thecap up. This stops the chalk from continually saturating the nib. For the first 1 or 2 uses, write with your planner on a bench instead of the fridge - this will help gravity to load the nib for writing.
Can I use them on chalkboard paint?
Generally, chalk markers don’t work well on chalkboard paint. Paint tends to absorb the ink from the markers and it doesn’t erase easily. Though some brands of chalkboard paint may work, we recommend you only write on unpainted, non-porous surfaces.
There are marks left after I tried to erase them – what do I do?
We have introduced the OLB Whiteboard Cleaning Kit which will dissolve the chalk leaving your planner fresh and ready to use.
You can also try using Isopropyl (min 80%). A cleaning wipe for glasses may also do the trick
