Posca PC-5M Medium Bullet Tip Paint Pen - Black & White

The Posca PC-5M Medium Paint Pen is the most popular choice for surfboard artists, shapers, and glassers worldwide. Proudly Made in Japan, these water-based pigment markers are celebrated for their incredible versatility, offering a 1.8mm–2.5mm bullet tip that is equally capable of bold line work and precise color filling.

Engineered for professional results, the PC-5M is a multi-surface tool that can be applied directly to shaped foam or used to add graphics to a sanded hot coat. The high-opacity ink provides a deep, solid finish that won't "bead up" on fiberglass or "feather" into the foam cells. Because the formula is water-based and resin-compatible, these pens are safe for use under both polyester and epoxy lamination without the risk of bleeding or reacting with the resin.

For long-lasting results, any artwork applied to a finished board should be protected with a thin coat of clear acrylic spray or "locked in" between resin layers during the glassing process.

Available Options:

• Black: The industry standard for bold outlines, tribal art, and high-contrast graphics.
• White: A high-opacity white that pops brilliantly over dark resin tints or deep-colored foam.

Key Features:

• 1.8mm–2.5mm Medium Tip: The perfect all-around nib for outlining, detailing, and coloring.
• Artist’s Staple: Ideal for creating logos, rail bands, and custom deck illustrations.
• Resin Compatible: Solvent-free pigment that won't "bleed" when glassed over with poly or epoxy.
• Made in Japan: Precision valve-action system for a consistent, clog-free ink flow.
• Lightfast & Opaque: Vibrant pigment that resists fading even after long sessions in the sun.

Pro Tip: When applying Posca art to a sanded finish, ensure the board is 100% free of dust and wax. A final wipe with a clean, dry microfiber cloth will ensure the ink adheres perfectly and dries with a crisp, professional edge.
