Would the writing come off too easily to keep and store them until we are ready to re-use them?

I think the writing would stay one pretty well. It may depend on the marker you use. The ones I use take elbow-grease and alcohol to come clean, which means the writing is semi-permanent until I rub the daylights out of it.

I can not confirm 100% since I have not actually tried to write on them, but I think you could write on them pretty easily. Especially with an Industrial Sharpie (stronger ink). And if they do stay a little wet, they will probably dry quickly. Hope this helps

Absolutely not. I had some that got a little wet, and I noticed they will probably fall apart pretty quick. I used them indoors at a flea market, and they work great for that. Sun, rain, weather, will probably not have them around long. As someone else pointed out you will probably want some sort of plastic tag with a Sharpie.

Yes, I put them in warm water to get the papers off easily. They can be melted in the oven or microwave. If you let them set up after melting the wax will rise to the top. I made letters in a mold, so when I turned them out they looked great.

You can use a sharpie on them but if they are handled by kids, the moisture on their hands will start to transfer the ink to their hands too. This plastic is smooth and not porous which would hold the ink for an extended time. A laminated sticker (ink surface sealed) with your Letter or Number on it would hold longer and would look better over time.

Probably not if you planned on washing them often but definitely for storage or single use, like preserves? Worth a try.

It depends upon how they are kept. They should be kept in a cool, dry location in an airtight container. I have kept them safely for a year following these procedures.

I think if they are disassembled a many times, they will not fold up as tightly as originally, so yes, quality will be compromised.

I don't know for sure, however as long as they are kept in a cool dry place and the seals are still in place, I don't see them drying up. Once installed, they need to be used, if you remove them, you must reseal them. But watch out for your ink jets getting clogged not having any ink to keep them wet.

You can take them off or leave them on. That's it. No adjustments other than that. One thing I will add. I do medical transcription and type about 25,000 to 30,000 lines a month and the main letters already started wearing off after less than 30 days. I returned it and amazon have me a new one. I would suggest that if you type this much that you put a drop of clear fingernail polish over the letters before you use it. This is working for me. I love the keyboard

They have to be removed and stored elsewhere. Storage has not been an issue since they are not very big or heavy so they are easy to store.

YES! We had a lot of people write on them. Sharpies worked the best, but you could probably use any kind of pen.

Absolutely! That's a great idea to have them customized with name/business info. for promotional materials. The pens themselves last quite a long time, I've had mine for over a year. Sometimes with promotional items, especially pens, they don't last very long, but these will last for awhile and would make a great promotional item.

The letters, when handled with care, can be reused. I've used them as paint masks and have done a few signs with just one set. However, the back sides must be kept quite clean.

Probably depends on how much use you do. I don't get to use them much, so haven't done a thing. Still look like new and it's been a while

No. They are rewritable. Look at the MTBF numbers. That should give you an idea of how long they should last.

Depends what the lettering is made out of. My guess would be no, unless you tried to peel the paint off the lettering later on. Or the paint might not adhere to the lettering and just peel right off after a little while.
