How do you store foam board?
Foam board is best stored flat in its original packaging. Do not lean Foam Board on its edges or stand it vertically.
Can copics be stored upright?
It doesn’t matter whether you store your Copic Markers horizontally or vertically. Both work. Copic Markers are not gravity fed, they work by capillary action which means the ink will not sink inside the marker.
Should I store my markers vertically or horizontally?
First and foremost, pens like fountain pens, gel pens, rollerball pens, and fine liners should always be store horizontally. This makes it so the ink doesn’t flow away from the tip of the pen. This also prevents them from getting dirty when they’re stored upright OR from ink clogs when stored upside down.
How do you store poster boards at home?
And to keep them all in place, a simple bungee cord is your magic trick. It keeps the boards from falling forward and also prevents them from bowing. You can use this method anywhere in your house, but I recommend installing the ledge on a wall behind a door since you’re probably not using that space anyway.
How long will a Copic marker last?
Fortunately, Copic markers last about 12 to 18 months with regular use. The time depends on a few things, including how often you use them, the type of paper you use, and how much ink you use at a time.
Should markers be stored tip up or down?
Break the well-ingrained habit of storing pens right side up for the “felt tip exception.” Items like markers, sharpies, and highlighters should be stored upside down to prevent them from drying out. Keeping the ink in contact with the felt tip fibers might help your writing utensil last a bit longer.
Should you store gel pens tip down?
Gel pens can be stored at a slight angle with the tip pointing down, and they will do just fine. I recommend avoiding straight up and down storage for your pens to get the most out of the ink/gel. Storing horizontally or slightly angled will help you avoid air bubbles inside the ink and pooling at the ballpoint.
How do you hang a foam core poster?
To hang a foam board poster, you will need to use two nails that are at least an inch long. Place the nail in the wall and place your thumb over it. With your other hand, hold the top of the foam board. Push down on both hands with enough force so that the nail is pushed all of the way into the wall.

A dried out pen can become unusable, but dealt with in the right way it won’t be unsalvageable. If the alcohol is gone, the best bet is to use official Copic Marker refill inks to rehydrate the pen.
