I am a teacher. I would like to know if I could write on the fish using a sharpie. I could not tell what material the fish are made of. Thanks!

The fish are a hard smooth plastic. They have lived outside at our house for quite some time and are durable. Writing with a sharpie should be no problem.

You could use pen or sharpie. They are small though, so you will need a fine point.

It's made of some kind of hard plastic. You fill it with water from the sink. I think the fish are probably aluminum but I'm not sure. It could be easily knocked over by a motivated child and cause a huge spill as the top doesn't really seal.

No, it's not quite the same. Sharpies are felt tipped markers. The pen tip is fiber based but it's rigid. But like any non-roller ball pen, it will dry out if you leave the cap off.

These are paper. So you can use pencil, ink pen, sharpie marker, or a crayon if you'd like :)They are not shiny or have a difficult surface with which to work.

This is an educated guess, since they aren't labeled, but I think they probably are. They write nicely-- not too hard, not "waxy" like some cheap pencils, and will make pretty dark marks with pressure. Hope that helps.

I used my Sharpies to draw on posterboard. If the metal had a texture, the markers should work. Slick-finished metal may result in paint that "wipes" easily. Hope this helps!

So far, I've tried Permanent, dry erase, wet erase and nothing works. I've put a piece of tape on it and then wrote on the tape. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I do not have an answer for your teflon perspective to the use of Sharpie Industrial Pens. I would suggest you get some and try it. I highly suspect glass would not be a problem.

sure you can write on it with a sharpie. you will have to tape it or attach it somehow to a box though ~ hope this helps!

My GUESS is NO, they are made for Fabric--which will absorbs the ink and colors. That is however, just a guess. My best advise would be to contact Sharpie customer service. I have found them to be helpful regarding other questions in the past. Try www.sharpie.com/enAU/CustomerService/Pages/ContactUs.aspx

A regular pen would work, but you'd need to be careful not to press too hard and rip the paper, it's very brittle. I've used it with students for years and the best thing is markers. I've used sharpies (which bleed through) and Crayola markers. If you're making something you want to last, I would also recommend laminating it.

You can use chalk, but the writing fades quickly. These are made to be used with liquid chalk writing pens. Works beautifully with them.

I would say they are not decorative on both sides, but the plastic the stickers are printed is see through and not white. If I remember right, you can see the fish on the sticky side, but it is not as vibrant. Kind of hazy I guess.

Been sketching with Flair tips since 1971. Then they had a small white point guard at the writing tip, but the tipstill got wider after usage and pressure. The ones I use today don't have that point guard and seem to be harder and keep a point longer but still get wider and softer after usage and pressure. My first time hearing "Hardhead"associated with Flair pens. Sounds like a selling tag. Just my opinion. Black is the only color I've ever used, aboutone a month.

The water-based paint won't harm the balloon and should last...as long as there's no risk of it getting wet. Keep in mind the pens work best when facing down...which could be a challenge if the balloon is filled with helium :-) I wouldn't use the extra-fine tip because it's pretty pointy and might poke through, but a fine tip or medium tip would work as long as you get the paint flowing pretty well BEFORE you start so you won't need to use too much pressure. Also I would have a slightly moist paper towel ready just in case you make a mistake so you can quickly "erase" it. Good luck and post a picture if you can so we can see how it worked out!
