Molotow Marker Review (Are they worth it?!) 

Thats a good point. Unfortunately, I discovered that fact after buying the packs. Ha! On the plus side, I had extras to share the love with. Thanks for checking out this review, man!

Also, if the tip gets damaged, there are replacement nibs available. Edit: actually not sure if that's true. I now remember I tried to buy one and ended up buying a second marker instead. I can't remember if that was because there were no nibs or they were just out of stock.

Thank you!

How quickly will the nib dry out after use?

@@YShape in my country they are in stock

I 100% agree. These markers are super useful for all sorts of projects. Thanks for checking out this review!

I use them on stretched canvas. I just sold two 24"x 36" canvases for $$ and used Molotow, Decocolor (acrylic), and Posca markers.

I will just say that I do use them with Gunpla

@@davidnguyen6823 Kinda late but finally found out they work great for miniatures, even as primer!

Thanks! Glad you like it. Hope to post more soon.

NowI'mMe Thanks for the tip!!!

Wow! I'm so glad you found this video helpful, Janie! A couple months ago, a lady in my office was making some large, hand-lettered signs on poster board. She was about to start using a sharpie to fill in the letters, but I showed her the 15mm Molotow marker. She fell in love with it and got the job done so much faster. Best of all, the office didn't have the strong fumes that would have come from using a sharpie. Shoot me a photo of your sign when you get it completed. I would love to see your work!

Steven Skadal I definitely will. I actually finished it. There is a mistake that I made ... I actually dragged my pinky into one of the letters. So I’m going to try to use an exacto knife tomorrow and see if it helps fix it. But it came out great. Man, that is a HUGE marker to use.... but I LOVE THE FLOW OF ACRYLIC PAINT. It’ll just take some time getting use to it. I don’t like Sharpies because they do fade with time and they feel like any other marker. Will show you the sign after I completely finish it. I have to add some fun decorations Around the edges. I just need to fix that smear. My T has a cross in the middle which makes it look like an F. So instead of the word TO... it reads FO. LOL. OY. I’ll figure something out. Talk soon.

topgazza Thanks! Glad you found this Molotow marker review helpful!

Haha! Sounds like you should work for Molotow and get an employee discount. That's awesome that you have such a broad range with the Molotow products. One day I'll get brave enough to try creating art with spray paint. When I do, I'm going to make sure I use Molotow. I've seen some awesome creations from people who have used their paint.

I'm so glad you found this review helpful, Gina! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching, Jason! Glad you found it helpful.

Robert Terrell Thanks a lot, man! So glad you found this review helpful. Drop me a link to your art. Would love to check it out! Happy creating!

Thank you, Lourez!

If you are planning on expanding your colour pallette of markers, buying from amazon might not be the best option. Try graffiti shops (online or storefront locations) to find better prices. I could score the whole set with extras for under 240€ by going online to look. (amazon was at about 300€). I can also reccomend their liquid chrome line if you want a spacey finish on paper. Have fun doing what you love. From Austria

Absolutely. In fact, when I read this question, the first thing I did was grab my 1mm Molotow marker and started making a bunch of lines on a small, thin rubber band. Went on perfectly!

Great question, man! I'll shoot you straight; I have absolutely no idea. I imagine that's extremely plausible and I'm certainly going to give that a shot. I'm sure it would work out great on a multi-media paper. Let me know if you try it out!

I used the 1mm (Extra Fine) Molotow marker and made low pressure quick lines in order to get that "sketchy" effect. I found that I could really get a variety of lines out of these markers. Not sure how big of a project you're working on, but I would recommend you get yourself the 1mm and 2mm markers. I use mine a lot in my sketchbook and found I can achieve exactly what I want just using those two. Hope this helps!

@@stevenskadal Really appreciate the reply. It's for painting on sneakers, but there are so many different paint markers, but will definitely try this one out. Keep it up.

Hmmm. I've never used Uni-Posca markers before. From my experience with the black Molotow markers, they cover EVERYTHING with one coat. I haven't tried out any other colors yet with Molotow, so I'm not sure if this is true with some of their lighter markers. If I were you, I would pick up a yellow Molotow marker or another lighter color and give that a shot before fully switching over. My guess is that you will be impressed by the results.

Glad you found the Molotow marker review helpful! Here's where you can get the 1mm www.amazon.com/Molotow-ONE4ALL-Acrylic-Marker-127-101/dp/B0044CZ0WS/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=molotow+1mm+black&qid=1559058279&s=gateway&sr=8-1

Thanks, Joaquin! Yes, as far as I know, Molotow only uses acrylic. I could be wrong about that, though. I haven't had a chance to check out their whole supply line. From my experience with the markers, they work on EVERYTHING. Based on the thickness of the paint and the flow as it leaves the marker, I'd say you won't have any trouble using it on whatever you like.

They have water based markers as well

That's a good question. I don't think varnish is necessary. So long as you're not beating up your art in the move, it should be fine. From what I've seen, the acrylic in the Molotow product is very durable and won't chip off or anything.

Steven Skadal thank you for replying...keep up the good work n keep going..godspeed

Sure thing! Here's the link to all of their markers: shop.molotow.com/marker-refills.html

Hi, Linda! Yes, these markers are waterproof. I even went on a took a piece of paper just now, made a large mark on it using my Molotow One4All 15mm, gave a second for it to dry, and then dropped some water on it. The ink did not run and didn't come up at all when I dabbed it with a paper towel. As far as needing to varnish, I wouldn't worry about doing that unless you are painting on a smooth surface. This link mentions that very thing: www.molotow.com/en/applications/marker-applications/one4all-marker-system/

Thanks for watching this review, Ayesha! Yes, the markers are refillable, which is something I didn't learn until after I made this video. Enjoy the markers!

@@stevenskadal and they come in all colours and last question where did you bought these markers from

@@ayeshahussain3908 They come in LOTS of colors. You can find them all at Molotow.com.

@@stevenskadal thank you so much for your prompt replies

This my 1st time using them are they good for modles?

Honestly, I haven't had to do anything special to keep them from drying out. I had a marker I used a few months ago and all I did was put the cap back on it. When I used it again months later, it worked perfectly. I think if you wanted to go the extra step, you could always pull the nib out and rinse it off once you're done using it and then put it back in with the cap on. So far, I haven't had one issue with the Molotow markers.

@@stevenskadal Great, thank you. I just ordered a 1mm tip from Amazon since they don't have them in the art supply store near me.

Lol! Thanks. I gotta get more content up. I have a lot of ideas of things I want to do, just no time to do it.

From what I've found, you don't have to clean Molotow marker nibs at all. Sometimes I have gone weeks in between using them and all I have to do is prime the nib (pumping it up and down to get the acrylic flowing back through). Best markers ever.

I saw your comment, grabbed one of my markers and started drawing on the back of my hand. It went on really smooth and dried quickly. The paint isn't smearing when I rub my finger over it. I'd say it'll work great on skin!

Steven Skadal ahhh you’re amazing thank you 🙏🏾 perfect, I just bought the white 2mm and 15mm for henna /mandala body tribal art

@@NovaNetworkProductions Oh awesome! Let me know how it turns out!

Good to know. And your screen name had me cracking up when I saw your comment pop up on my notifications.

Steven Skadal lol

I 100% agree with that statement.

Great video by the way. Keep up the good work. Love the art you do.

Graff Shrimp Thanks! I appreciate that!

No problem :)

Hi Judi! Glad you like the video. There is no font used for my logo. That is something I made from scratch. ;) If you haven’t already looked, a good source to use for finding unique fonts is dafont.com. You might find something there that will be close to what you’re looking for. Good luck!

@@stevenskadal WOW... You designed your own Font... YOU are my new Hero. Thank you for the information.

Thanks for checking out the review. When you say the Molotow markers aren't drying well, do you mean that the acrylic is still wet on the surface you're marking on?

@@stevenskadal the color of the black marker is smearing even after 2 days. It looks like the pigments are coming off, so paint itself is dry

@@stevenskadal I have this problem only with the black marker, the pink one works well on paper

@@friedrichs.8004 Hmmmm. That's weird. I have a lot of the black markers in different nib sizes and haven't had any issues with smearing. What kind of paper are you using it on? Does it do the same on even a basic piece of computer paper or something similar? Nothing glossy. If it still smears, my guess is that it might have just been a bad batch. I would contact Molotow and let them know what's up. I bet they'll replace it.

@@stevenskadal yes, it's the same on normal paper. Yes maybe that's the reason, thank you for your help :D

LOL! Glad you liked the review. Yeah, looking back on this, I should have chosen a different background music. The music is actually from my wall mural vid that this marker review was in reference to. Check it out if you haven't already. Thanks for watching! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0t2FcoX-e-I.html

Thanks for checking out this video, Jonathan! Yeah, I found out AFTER I made this review that there are even more to these markers than I knew. So awesome that they are so easy to refill and change out the nibs. By far, the Molotow markers are my favorite tools in my art supplies.

@@stevenskadal you can check out my work on Instagram @Arhythmatic.

I know what you mean by the expense. Most of the time, I'd rather just use a can of black paint than to spend any more money. I would recommend purchasing just one either 1mm or 2mm marker. Don't worry about buying nibs or refills. The marker will last you a long time without it. And then you can decide from there if you like them enough to buy more or if you should go a different route.

i bought 200ml Grog paint and molotow 620pp marker for 22$

Ha! Took the words right out of my mouth, Klone!

@@stevenskadal Try Molotow acrylic spray paint as well, they are a bit more expensive, but good. Also this weekend i was using Molotow acrylic marker for airbrushing and it was working great. Really good product!

@@kloneone4176 I'm definitely going to have to check out the Molotow spray paint. Using spray paint for a wall mural is not something I've tried yet, but it's on my "things-to-do" list. And that's cool that you managed to use the acrylic from the marker for airbrushing. I haven't airbrushed in a long time!

I certainly felt like one after discovering the refillable part too late in the game! Ha! Oh well. I'm more than happy to give Molotow my money. They make a killer product!

@@stevenskadal Live and learn, man. Glad you enjoy them. They're awesome. :D

Lol! Looking back on it, it probably would have been a good idea to tone it down or remove it all together. It's the same music I used on the actual painting. Check it out if you haven't had a chance to yet. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0t2FcoX-e-I.html Thanks for watching this Molotow review, Oscar!

Yeah, the Molotow markers can be a bit pricey, but hopefully this review demonstrated that they are worth spending the extra money. Hope you get a chance to try them out! One thing I didn't mention in the video is that they are refillable. So you can purchase one marker and one of the Molotow refill bottles. That should last you a really long time! Happy creating, Kelley.
