Description of 3X Stabilo-All Pencils (Red)

Pack of 3 Stabilo-All water soluble marking pencils, in white, green, red or black. Pencils come pre-sharpened. Stabilo's soft, waxy leads mark on virtually any surface. Use it for writing on even difficult surfaces like plastic, film, and mylar. It is also useful for correcting drafts and proofs, or marking layouts. Erases easily on smooth surface with a damp cloth. Great for sign painters as the design can be sketched out and then removed when needed.

For enameling - works fairly well

I have these pencils to mark the enameled surface so I have guide lines that will burn out in the kiln. In general, this pencil burns out. BUT I've found that if you leave a very heavy mark on an etched, non-glossy surface, it won't fade, even after multiple firings (at 1450°F). When I made lighter marks, they all faded. So if you're buying this to enamel, pay attention to your markings.

Pros
  • drawing
Cons
  • is embarrassing

Usable but not as dark as I had hoped

This pencil is easy to write with, easy to sharpen and works well for mixed media projects. However, I was hoping that it would write and draw really dark, and while it's darker than a lot of my pencils, it's not as dark as I was hoping. Doesn't fit black. In most compositions it looks like a medium to almost dark shade of charcoal. I'm layering it along with other materials to darken it a bit, but overall it's still a good buy for the amateur artist.

Pros
  • Stabilos soft wax marks on almost any surface.
Cons
  • Not sure

I love my pens but I love the seller even more

Excellent pencils. I'm a mixed media artist and I use them a lot in my work. As good as these pens are, the seller is even better. I ordered them in early November. The first package was lost, so the seller sent the second. The second set was on a world trip so the seller sent me the third set while the second package was on vacation. I really needed these pens as I couldn't find them locally. I'm so glad the seller didn't just give me my money back. I will definitely come back when I need more

Pros
  • Easy to erase on a smooth surface with a damp cloth. Ideal for drawing artists as the design can be sketched and removed if required.
Cons
  • I don't remember

Math + Nerd + Stabilo All = Happiness ;-)

Artist Karen Campbell recommends Stabilo All in her wonderful book How to Draw and Find Your Style. Karen finds that this pen creates all the shades on the value scale when rubbed with a wet brush. Wow! My little daughter loves the ease of shading with this pen. This is impressive; like the book by Karen Campbell. However, I like to write different messages on mirrors and kitchen utensils. Because the line is narrow and writes on almost any surface, I use it to spread algebra around the house…

Pros
  • Use it to write even on difficult surfaces like plastic, foil and mylar. It is also useful for correcting drafts and proofreading or marking up layouts.
Cons
  • I will add later
