Writing on Wood with edding

Wood is a popular material for creative projects. To ensure the ink adheres well, the surface should be clean, dry, and as smooth as possible. For untreated wood, edding permanent markers or edding paint markers work best, as they penetrate the pores and provide long-lasting results.

Tip: On dark wood, opaque colors like white, gold, or silver create striking contrasts.

Decorating Terracotta

Terracotta is porous and absorbent – ideal for edding acrylic markers or paint markers. Before writing, clean the surface with a damp cloth and let it dry thoroughly. Personalized flower pots with names or quotes are especially popular.

Labeling Concrete and Stone

Concrete and natural stone have rough surfaces that are perfect for edding outdoor markers or edding permanent sprays. These products are weatherproof and UV-resistant – great for garden decor or house numbers.
 

Glass & Mirrors: edding for Smooth Surfaces

Glass and mirrors require markers with strong adhesion and high opacity. edding glass markers or chalk markers are specially designed for smooth, non-absorbent surfaces. They can be wiped off if needed – ideal for seasonal decorations or menu boards.

Note: For permanent designs on glass, edding porcelain brush pens are a great choice – once baked in the oven, they’re even dishwasher-safe!

Writing on Metal – Durable and Precise

Metal surfaces like cans, tools, or signs can be permanently labeled with edding industrial markers or paint markers. Important: the surface should be grease-free and dry. Light sanding can further improve adhesion.

Painting on Plaster & Plaster Figures

Plaster is an absorbent material that works well with edding acrylic markers or fiber pens. For especially vibrant colors, apply a white acrylic base coat first. This helps your designs stand out even more.
