Refilling Acrylic Markers

[Sharkmouth]

After buying these markers and using some up...

I bought these this May (three years after the above) as some colors were used up:

Now, I see this!

wonder if they would work with something like Vallejo air ?

It did say acrylic! I was more interested in the ratio but with Vallejo Air, it might already be thinned so less water?

Vallejo or AK air "Should" work. It is the flow improver in airbrush paints that allows it break tension and release. Adding flow improver to a medium or fluid viscosity paint should also work. However, there are paint refills for Molotow paint markers that are specifically designed to do just this. FYI, the non-brush tips (felt tips) can be reversed when the tip becomes mangled giving new life to the marker. The larger felt tips can be cut with an Xacto and shaped to make parallel lines and what-not.
