posca PC-5M Water-Based Paint Markers, Apple Green 3-Count — Reversible Medium Tip 1.8–2.5mm, Opaque & Quick-Drying

Posca PC-5M are water-based paint markers with a reversible medium tip (1.8–2.5mm) that deliver vivid, opaque apple-green colour across more than 50 surfaces.

These PC-5M markers combine the control of a bullet-style nib with the versatility of reversible tips so you can switch from fine lines to broader strokes without changing tools. The water-based pigment flows smoothly, dries quickly, and behaves differently on porous versus non-porous materials—permanent on paper and wood, yet removable from many glossy surfaces—making them a flexible choice for hobbyists, illustrators, decorators and crafters.

What makes the reversible medium tip useful for art and craft projects?

The PC-5M reversible tip lets you rotate the nib to use either a narrower or broader edge depending on the stroke you need, offering both precision and coverage in one marker. That adaptability reduces tool changes and speeds up layering, lettering, and fill work.

• Reversible 1.8–2.5mm tip: narrow for outlines, wider for fills
• Bullet-style shape for consistent, controlled marks
• Good for lettering, detailing, and colour blocking

How does the apple green colour perform on different surfaces?

Apple green shows up opaque on porous substrates like paper, cardboard and wood, and remains bright and even when applied in multiple layers. On shiny or non-porous materials like glass, metal or plastic, the pigment sits on the surface and can often be removed if not sealed, offering temporary or adjustable decoration options.

• Opaque coverage on textured and absorbent surfaces
• Clean, bright finish on lightly primed or painted backgrounds
• Removable from many glossy surfaces before sealing

Are these markers suitable for indoor and outdoor projects?

Yes — the quick-drying, water-based ink is formulated to resist smudging once dry, making it practical for both indoor crafts and short-term outdoor decorations. For long-term outdoor exposure, pair with an appropriate clear coat or fixative to boost weather resistance and UV stability.

• Quick-drying for reduced smearing
• Permanent on porous materials for lasting artwork
• Compatible with varnish or sealer for outdoor longevity

How do I get the best results and care for my Posca markers?

Store tip-down when not in use to keep the nib saturated and cap tightly to prevent drying. Shake and press the nib down on scrap paper to activate the pigment before first use, and clean non-porous surfaces gently to remove residual ink when needed.

• Shake well and prime nib on scrap before using
• Store capped and tip-down to maintain flow
• Seal finished work for added durability outdoors
