Review on Empty Acrylic Marker (15Mm by Doris Tran

Revainrating 4 out of 5

GREAT for spot application of herbicides.

Docked with a star because the picture at the time of purchase (Summer 2019) shows TWO cans, one without a lid, the other with a lid. Indicates that "Order" is 2 cans. Although the text was "no plural", a clause should be added to emphasize that the order applies to ONE CAN. The item itself is quite well made. For 20 years we have been looking for a brush or dab system to apply herbicide concentrate to perennials mixed with valuable plants. Other options either risked dripping (sponge brush + product cup) or had springs that tended to drag on woody stems. These hard felt tips are great and drips are not a problem. Work on the bucket when filling/refilling - if the valve block falls apart, the spring will almost certainly be forgotten. (Also, you need to hold back herbicide drips.) So far, we've only tested water-based herbicides. Petroleum based products will be tested in the coming months (may destroy device).

Pros
  • With the help of a transparent marker (15 mm) you can mix different colors of markers, creating new or, depending on the moisture of the ink, soft transitions from color to color. The transparent design makes it easy to see colors and assess the remaining ink.
Cons
  • Something else
