Are they waterproof? Can you you use them with watercolor paints?

Not exactly. Some colors are fairly okay with water others are not. Based on my experience I wouldn't venture into watercolors with them. They work fine but they are best kept dry. I use mine for writing in my planner, doodling and sketching or journalIng, never for wet work. Sakura pens would be a better option or prisma liners for watercolor work.

They are not waterproof in my experience unfortunately. No idea if they can be used with watercolors but if you're writing on something wet they probably won't do well.

I would not trust them to be waterproof. There is no indication from the mfg. that they are.

I wouldn't go as far to say they are waterproof... But when I have spilled on them, the liquid beads up and is easy to wipe off. I would not let the liquid sit there for long... Nor would I sit on them when I am wet (like after swimming or something).

No ! These are not water proof. On a hard surface floor they can really move.

Hmmmm....I am not exactly sure why someone would say that a paint brush cannot be used, unless they were perhaps talking about a specific application. You should be able to use a brush with no problems really. In fact, there are artists that use these to paint on wood, canvas, and other media that is even beyond my understanding. I have even heard of others mixing these with water color paints to create numerous paint technique variations as well as unique finishes. I really apologize for any confusion, but I am sure someone may have been referring to a more specific topic. Hope that helps out.... Keda Dyes Inc Thank you for your interest

No, they are not waterproof. They would probably be more expensive if they were waterproof.

No, they are not. Avery does make labels that are water resistant (not waterproof) so keep searching! :)

Not completely waterproof, but they are definitely water resistant. If you seal the seams with a thin line of clear caulking it may help even more with the proofing.

Not if you wish to store the paint for a long time, these will likely let the paint dry out as there is no air tight seal. Also, these would hold an incredible small amount of paint... BUT maybe if you put a little plastic wrap over the top before you screw the lid on, it would keep the paint a bit better :)

Although I put them on when I was already in the water, I don't think they are waterproof in the sense you inquire about. (They're now in storage, so I can't try them out for you -- sorry.)

I have no idea if these are waterproof but I would suspect that they are not. They are bright enough to light something but I believe that I would bite the bullet and buy a light designed for underwater use.

Yes you can use them on painted surfaces - don't know about a few years, but I've never had problems with staining

I would say not waterproof, as in standing water for a while would damage them, but definitely good with wiping down and stuff. Be warned, they don't have a latch on the bottom for the bar that slides out to set up the legs. So, if you pick it up (to move around while in use) the legs fold back up. Definitely a problem if you have stuff on it!

Although I haven't tried them specifically on glossy paper, I have tried them on several non-paper surfaces (such as a semi-gloss canvas). If you give the ink ample time to dry (will be tacky after just a few minutes and then totally dry after several hours) then it will likely not smear. However, if I went back to the canvases that I've done with them and wiped a damp cloth across, I'm rather certain the ink would smudge, so I do not believe that the ink is waterproof.

Not sure that they are waterproof, but they are submersible. I put them on my boat trailer and they work great.

They are waterproof as far as rain or even pressure washing goes. I have not tried to submerge them into water as of yet. But in order to do that water would have to be 3 foot deep.

I would not, they are silk screened on burlap. I would be afraid either the paint would fade, or the burlap would shrink. I would hand wash.
