Camo-PEN Information

CAMO-PEN is made from the highest quality materials!

The paint 

• The paint is water based acrylic, fused with polyvinyl resin and acrylic water based varnish.
• It will cure be waterproof and scratch resistant after 24-36 hours.
• Paint cleanup in the first hour is easy with some warm water and soap.
• After the paint cures it will need to be sanded off or removed with acrylic paint remover.

The sponge

• The sponge tips are specifically crafted for our CAMO-PENs.
• The highest quality sponges are die cut to 15 mm circles for great application.

Coverage

• Each CAMO-PEN has 30ml of paint and provides 1/2 m2 of coverage on non-porous surfaces.
• It is possible to paint multiple items with one CAMO-PEN

SAFETY

• While CAMO-PEN is made from water based products and is not toxic to the environment, it should not be ingested and for some people could cause allergic reactions on the skin.
• If the paint makes contact with your eyes flush for 5-15 minutes with cool clean water.

INSTRUCTIONS

• Prep the surface of the area you want to paint by sanding with a fine sandpaper or sanding sponge we recommend 250 grit or higher.
• If the surface is already rough or porous you may skip sanding.
• Clean the area with acetone for metal parts or warm soapy water for plastic allow to dry fully before sanding.
• Shake the CAMO-PEN vigorously before each use!
• Unscrew the cap and remove the seal (we recommend that you keep the seal if you plan to store the pen for longer than a month)
• Screw the cap on and then when you gently squeeze the pen, paint will b expelled through the hole in the sponge.
• Be careful not to squeeze the pen too hard!
• Paint the desired area by gently dabbing the sponge tip on the area.
• Avoid painting like a brush as back and forth motion may separate the sponge from the nozzle.
• If the paint gets stuck, remove the whole top and clean with warm water or use a stir stick to dislodge any hard paint.
• After the base coat is applied and has dried to the touch, take one color at a time and gently apply it with very soft dabbing motions to create a natural camo pattern from the holes in the sponge.
• Do this with each color of your choice over the entire surface you want painted until your desired result is achieved

Important Info and stuff...
DRY TIME: ​

• Dry to touch/2nd coat in about 5-10 minutes depending on the temperature and humidity.
• The warmer and less humid it is the faster it will dry!
• Waterproof and scratch resistant after 24-36 hours depending on temperature and humidity.

TOXICITY:

• CAMO-PEN uses non-toxic water based paint.
• This means that most people, animal and plants will have no adverse reaction to contact.
• It is not safe for consumption and should be cleaned from skin in a timely manner should contact occur.

WATER RESISTANCE:

• CAMO-PEN paint is waterproof once cured.
• After the paint has dried for about 24-36 hours the paint can be completely immersed in water with no adverse effect.
• It is NOT recommended using this paint on items that will be in contact with water 100% of the time.
• Getting wet and then drying off will be no problem but prolonged water contact can cause the paint to start to breakdown.

SCRATCH RESISTANT:

• CAMO-PEN paint is scratch resistant when fully cured(24-36 hours).
• This means that when the paint has been applied properly to a clean and prepped surface and allowed the proper cure time, the paint should not easily scratch off.
• In most cases the paint will "scuff" but not "scratch".
• In the event of a scuff, simply apply a touch up to the scuffed area and it will be good as new!
