Starting off
-
Unscrew the cap &
replace it with the “quill”, (Mask-King
tip).
-
Use the pen like a marker.
For thick lines stroke with the broad
side, for thin ones stroke with the
narrow.
Lay down a ribbon
of fluid.
-
Hold the pen like a
pencil.
-
Touch the nib (writing
end of the pen) to the paper. Squeeze
the bottle until you have a “BANK” (glob
of wet masking fluid), behind the nib.
(See picture)

Cleanup
-
Some evaporation may occur through
the quill. For storage of more than
a week, replace the bottle cap.
-
Wipe out any masking fluid that
may have congealed inside the cap
-
The easiest way to clean the quill
is just to put it away wet, and leave
it until next time
-
Once the masking fluid is fully
dried it’s a snap to remove it.
Cleaning the quill
with the probe.
-
We include a probe with
the pen. If you lose it, you can order
a new one from the web-site.
-
Use the hook part of
the probe to grab and pull out the hardened
mask from the inside of the quill.
-
If that did not clear
the nib channel, push the probe into
it from the outside. The hook will grab
the hardened mask and pull it out.
-
Don't worry about damaging
the quill with the probe. The quill
is made of a hard, yet very flexible
plastic.
We hope that with
a little experience you will love this pen.

As long as you have a bank, the
pen cannot skip a spot.
-
PULL the pen across the paper.
Pushing it will scrape the liquid
off. Maintain the bank with gentle
pressure on the bottle.
-
You can overlap the lines of masking
fluid as long as they are wet. Once
they begin to congeal it’s difficult
to blend with the next line. If this
becomes a problem, dry the mask before
continuing. A hair dryer works very
well to speed things up.
-
Sometimes the channel leading to
the nib gets clogged. We include a
“probe”. Push it into the channel,
and pull out the clog. For more information
on cleaning with the probe skip to
the section, “cleaning the quill with
the probe”.
-
For thin lines hold the marker
the narrow way. Don’t concern yourself
about a bank. The pen is very forgiving
when making thin lines.
-
For precision lines, start the
stroke on a piece of scrap paper.
Put the scrap paper on the painting
in order to mask the area before the
line begins.
-
You can follow a ruler or other
guide, as long as the ruler is well
raised above the paper
