Over time, the felt on top of the marker may become worn out. When it comes to refilling them, I know you can buy some sort of contraption to remove the top but I just use a pair of pliers to pry them off. How do I fill and refill them? Like I said, I put slightly diluted India ink in mine (I don't have a brand recommendation because it seems all India ink is created equally). Where can I get them? H ere and here is where I get 'em! If I know my kids are going to be using them, I test each one out during my plan time making sure they work and GENTLY squeezing them to get the ink to flow. Sometimes, the ink dries at the tip providing a scratchy line. In fact, in my art room, we call them 'paint markers' and have three rules for using them properly: DO NOT SHAKE THEM, DO NOT PRESS HARD but, most of all, DO NOT SQUEEZE THEM as an endless stream of ink my flow out of the bottle if you do. Why are they magic? Because they provide a seamless line, much like that of a marker. TEMPERA PAINT, even when diluted, does not work.I know.I tried.
