Overview

This is an 8 marker set of POSCA PC-5M water based acrylic paint markers with a medium, reversible tip between 1.8 and 2.5 millimeters, in soft tone colors including white, sunshine yellow and lavender. The listing markets them for rock painting, wood, glass and general craft and art projects.

POSCA's markers are real paint delivered through a marker body, which is why they cover in one layer over dark surfaces where a typical marker would need several passes. The formula is ACMI certified after review by a board certified toxicologist, and it is described as permanent on porous surfaces like wood or fabric but removable from most non porous surfaces such as glass, which matters for anyone reusing glassware.

  • 8 markers in soft tone colors
  • Medium 1.8-2.5mm reversible tip
  • Water based acrylic paint, ACMI certified
  • Works on wood, glass, fabric, canvas and more

Who it's for

Fits crafters and artists working on rock painting, mixed media or multi surface projects who want opaque coverage in one pass. Less relevant for someone who only needs fine line work, since this set is the medium tip rather than the brand's fine or extra fine versions.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Opaque coverage in one layer, even on dark surfaces
  • Reversible tip extends usable marker life
  • ACMI certified, low odor water based formula
  • Works across 50 plus surface types
Cons
  • Removable rather than permanent on non porous surfaces like glass
  • Medium tip is not suited to very fine detail work

Performance notes

The reversible tip lets a worn point be flipped and reused, extending marker life without buying a replacement, and the water based pigment layers without streaking, giving opaque, even coverage on dark or textured surfaces. Permanence differs by surface: the ink sets into porous materials like wood or fabric but can be wiped from most non porous surfaces such as glass or metal, so painted glassware may need a sealant if permanence is the goal.
