Disclaimer: I received this product for free or at a reduced price in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are 100% my own. I had wanted to try liquid chalk markers for quite some time. When I was offered these UltimateChalksTM Premium Liquid Chalk Markers for review I quickly accepted. When they arrived the first thing I wanted to do was to try my hand at a project.

I chose to use a stencil on a chalkboard I already had. Before beginning I tested one of the markers on the back of the chalkboard to make sure they were erasable. I left the mark on the chalkboard for several hours, then used a damp paper towel to try to remove the mark. It wiped right off, so I decided to go ahead with my project. I made a video with my first project. It is below. The UltimateChalksTM Premium Liquid Chalk Markers did take several minutes before the chisel point tips fill with liquid. I love the bright colors that came in this set and the fact that the liquid chalk is dust-free. I also like that they work on any nonporous surface such as metal, glass and even mirrors. I can't wait to use them in some of my  holiday decor - and they are ideal for decorating glasses or other party decor such as menu boards. They write very smoothly. The chisel tip is great for outlining a pattern before filling it in - oh and if you accidentally get a color in the wrong spot you can either remove it with a damp towel or Q-Tip or color over it once it dries.

Materials

• Liquid chalk markers
• Nonporous chalkboard
• Stencil
• Damp cloth and cotton swabs
• Optional painter's tape

Instructions

1. Read the liquid chalk marker instructions and confirm that the chosen surface is nonporous and appropriate for erasable markers.
2. Make a small test mark in an inconspicuous area, as the author did on the back of the chalkboard.
3. Allow the test mark to sit for several hours, then try removing it with a damp paper towel. Proceed only if it comes off cleanly.
4. Prepare the chalk marker according to its instructions; allow time for the liquid to saturate the tip.
5. Position the stencil on the chalkboard and hold or secure it so it does not slip.
6. Outline the design with the marker tip and fill in the pattern carefully.
7. Correct misplaced marks with a damp cotton swab or cloth, taking care not to smear nearby lines.
8. Allow the design to dry before handling. Remember that water can cause the chalk to smear or wash away.

Once dry, the chalk is smudge-free unless you get water on it, then it will smear and wash away. I really do love these chalk markers and had I known how great they were I would have bought some sooner. Be sure to read and follow the instructions before you use them for the first time and do expect that it will take some practice to get your project perfect unless you are already used to stenciling or using markers. I also think these markers would be great for kids to use since they come off of nonporous surfaces with water alone.
