Are these pencils erasable if you make a mistake? (I am doubting it since they are wax based, but thought I would ask)

The color is too rich/saturated and the core too much like butter to erase. Consider the col-erase line from Prismacolor for more erasable pencils. The color's not as rich/saturated in those, though.

Yes, they are erasable. The best thing to use is one of those soft gummy kind of erasers, less smudging. Also, if your paper has 'tooth' that is, if it is thick and has little bumps on it, what you cannot get off with the eraser, you can remove with a sharp blade by scratching at the surface of the paper. If all else fails, paint over it with some titanium white tube paint and make sure it is totally dry before proceeding to draw in that area again. Hope that helps. Jon Linden

I have been able to "ease out" the color to some degree, in a specific area, though deep coloration would be difficult. CAREFUL scraping with the side of an X-acto blade helps a little, too.

I use Sanford Peel-Off Magic Rub 1960 Erasers and Iam able to erase the majority of colors except reds and greens. Reds and greens only remove about 25% of the color. Of the things I love the most about this erasers, besides being the eraser being the shape of a pencil that you peel-off the outer part to reveal the eraser in the middle, is that I'm able to sharpen the eraser to a fine point when I need to erase tiny areas without erasing/disturing the rest of the area colored.

They are somewhat eraseable, depending on the paper used. I use my eraer at times to lighten an area, but to completely erase, doubtful.

Hi, it depends on the paper tooth, on mixed-media paper (Strathmore 300-500) most colors erase completely. On Ampersand pastelboard it is possible but time consuming. I love Strathmore 500 acid free boards and sheets, 400 pads for non-easel work.

I don't know for certain that they are the same material. They are a lot smaller in length and are made for the Twist-erase pencils.

you uses these like a watercolor pencil, so if u want them to dry quicker in the sense you are using it like a watercolor then yes. Do not use it on the pencil itself u will melt it.

Hello. I use Expo Vis-à-vis wet erase & the ultra fine. As the other person commented, it is easily erasable.

I don't think so - they are 't made fir dry erase and i think they will bead up.

Yes. They are longer than a typical crayon but shorter than a standard #2 pencil.

Hi and no eraser, would not be conducive to highlighter as these are more like paint pigment but would have limited use if using my suggestion to replace leads for a range of standard graphite leads, better really carry pen type or kneadable eraser. There is non copy leads supplied which are invisible to scanners.

Those look to be the correct refills. Are you sure you are looking in the right place for the eraser? If you take off the cap and put it on the back for the pencil, then the small silver cap that you use to advance the lead can be removed to reveal the eraser. I hope this helps.

Yes you can erase over these pens just make sure the ink is dry before you start erasing.

No they are not erasers..I got mine 2 weeks ago and I have been cutting some up for my finger and toe nails..they are decals for nail art...there is so many different styles to choose from it's hard to stop changing nail art...if you are looking for erasers this isn't for you...I love them..they send the one-sided blade with the decals...everything is in there for you to get started...enjoy!

They are very bright and very liquidy markers so if the material you are using is any at all porous, they're going to be difficult to erase entirely. They wipe clean off glass of course. I would say they would wipe clean off chalkboard paper as well since it is 100% non porous.

They work moderately well on colored pencil shading, but not as well on hard lines with sharpened colored pencil. The waxier/oilier the colored pencil lead, the worse the eraser works, the chalkier the better. Of course, the eraser is amazing with most all graphite and charcoal.

Prismacolor colored pencils are wax based, so unlike the usual Crayola, they do not leave a "powdery" substance behind. However, like Travis mentioned prior to my comment, they will eventually leave a waxy buildup, but it's more of a thin film that you can scrape off gently if it bothers you. Other than that, there's very even coverage, and they should work fine.

You are right; permanent, not erasable. If you want something permanent, this writes nice and smooth, but if you want erasable, find something else!

I didn't peel the paper off because I use them as regular crayons. but as far as I can see if they're the same as regular crayon brand. When I did make melted ones in the past I just made sure to chop them pretty small

Yes, the eraser works very well. I've been using these pencils for years, and I make a lot of mistakes.
