Yes. Kent lists fabric among the surfaces the range works on. Use it on smooth, tightly woven cotton or canvas, let it dry thoroughly, and for things that get washed, wash gently inside out. On very textured fabric a broader nib covers better.

Detail. A 1mm Super Fine nib is the size for outlines, lettering, tiny highlights, pattern work and anything where a 3mm nib would feel like painting with a broom. It is the marker you reach for to finish a piece: the crisp line around a character, the sparkle in an eye, the signature in the corner.

Kent Urban uses water based acrylic paint ink that works on wood, metal, glass, plastic, canvas, fabric, stone and most smooth surfaces. On very glossy surfaces like glass, glazed ceramic and shiny plastic, clean off any grease first and let each layer dry fully, then seal the piece if it will be handled a lot.

Shake it well with the cap on until you hear the mixing ball rattle. Take the cap off, hold the marker nib down on a scrap of paper and press the tip gently a few times until the paint flows into the nib. Do not pump it hard or it can flood. Shake again before each use.

Yes. The ink is UV resistant and waterproof once dry, and Kent rates the range for indoor and outdoor use. For anything that lives outside, like a painted deck, a helmet or a piece on a legal wall, a clear outdoor varnish over the top keeps it looking fresh for longer.

Yes. Paint a background with acrylic, let it dry completely, then add your linework and details with the 1mm. Because the marker is also acrylic, the layers bond well. Let the marker dry before you varnish over it.

Usually it has been pumped too hard or not shaken enough. Give it a good shake with the cap on, then dab the tip on scrap paper to soak up any extra paint. Use light, even pressure when you draw. A fine nib needs a gentle touch.
