are colors permanent when dry?

No. This is a water based product and so unfortunately, it is susceptible to both fading and water damage. A product called Microglaze, can be used with these to produce a smudge proof "waterproof" finish.

I thought it might. The permanent color would be more expensive.Thanks for your help.

I don't know with 100% certainty; but once it is dry, it shouldn't bleed - I got some on my skin and it stayed there for weeks.

It is permanent in the sense that it is mixed with 20 vol but you will prob have to refresh the color after a few months.

Yes they seem to dry well on many different surfaces; glass, wood, paper. The only problem I had with this product was only one of the colors is glow in the dark, the rest are just neon.

No but they automatically will fade between colors, and you can control the speed that they change, or pick solid colors, or have them quickly change colors

I think it depends on your geographical location. I watched a Santa Fe artist do a demo once, and he related how the dry climate in NM meant a hard-paint palette. You get used to paint acting a certain way, and to the amount of water to use as you go along. He said he was startled when in San Francisco Bay Area, having pre-filled his Watercolor pans with tube paint, he'd closed up the pallette in a hurry without waiting for the paints to dry out before leaving for California (and used to dry climate drying them really fast in his normal day-to-day). He said he plunged his wet brush into what he thought would be the dried colors he was used to, and smooshed WET paint everywhere, then realized why that had happened. Being a Bay Area person, I'm wondering if putting the filled pans in a warmed/turned-off oven overnight would help them dry properly. My preference in a travel palette is for dried paint. Not sure how the plastic pans would react to a warm oven (that is, BARELY warm; heat to 250' and turn it off, place the filled pans on a cookie sheet and let the dry heat do its thing til morning, when they will have cooled off. Probably your warmest window would do the same thing, but take longer. Plus Mom will kill you if you get wet paint on the curtains. (!)

Hi, its a strong treatment, but if you use permanent color wont strip it too much.

It dries to a light beige color, similar to light wood. Depending on how thick of a layer you use, it can take anywhere from 1 to 4 hours for it to dry. It layers well though so you can keep adding on over time. It fixed the chewed corners of our table really well. We sanded it down and stained it so it looks like nothing ever happened.

Depending, on a glossy surface this will not dry instantly. Takes a few seconds like the other Sharpie colors.

It is pretty permanent when placing: think mailing label. It will soak off in the wash, though.

It really depends how much you use. If you use too little, it will not dry up as solid black.

Yes, some colors show up better then others, but you can always let it dry and add a second layer.

Just like any real marker, it will dry out. The light will still work though.

I used the dark purple on my unbleached dark brown hair 3 weeks ago and it hasn't faded at all. The color lightens a little but it isn't any less vibrant. This is definitely a permanent color, but be careful when you shower because even now when I shampoo my water runs purple.

No. I use them to dry wet clothes and have never had an issue with color transfer.
