  • A kind subscriber told me about this hack. You will need rubbing alcohol, a syringe/pipette and of course dried up alcohol pens.

    I did know that the alcohol worked for reviving markers, but it is always good to watch someone try it on their pens first! Another tip, you can revive your water based makers with water and glycerol (probably about 10% glycerol). I've done it with some Stabilo markers. I tried pulling the nibs out but often it can be better to unstopper the other end. I did have a few mishaps, but if the other alternative was to throw it out, a mangled end cap is not too great a price to pay!

    Yellow ochre marker... Revived! I have bottles and bottles of isopropyl, a staple in all homes in my country. I'm amazed to find such a cool use for it. Thanks for this video!

    Thanks for the video Lucy, I'm glad someone finally did a video like this and demonstrated the process. I definitely have markers that are dry. I will put the alcohol to the test! 😁

    Awesome !!! You can also create your own alcohol blending market that way with a clean empty marker barrel and a new nib .

    This is a GREAT in a pinch solution and can be done every couple of regular refills. So you still need refill ink but not as much. If you don't do regular refills at some point the ink will lighten and simply not give you the color payoff you need.

      Hi Marilyn, you are correct, but what a joy to know you have a little longer with your markers before you have to buy some more 🤗💖

    I'm so disappointed. I was excited to try this and drop after drop after drop and letting it sit a bit before adding more, up to 18 drops and still nothing. And I know the marker isn't dry because I have barely used it. I'll try another marker but I was sad this didn't work on the first one I tried.
