Why? </h2> <div class="bvseo-question-detail"> </div> <div class="bvseo-author">Asked by: Stevie</div> <div class="bvseo-answer" data-answerid="8003285"> Hi Stevie,

Thanks for your question. Paper Mate InkJoy Gel Pens, especially the 0.5 mm fine point version, use a gel-based ink that is designed to dry quickly on standard paper surfaces&mdash;but not on porous, non-absorbent materials like unglazed clay. When applied to a surface like a clay pot, the ink doesn&rsquo;t absorb or bond properly, causing it to remain wet or tacky even days later. Gel ink relies on slight absorption or evaporation to dry, and on materials like clay, that process is slowed dramatically or halted altogether.

Additionally, clay pots have a highly porous and mineral-based surface, which can interfere with the ink&rsquo;s ability to set. The moisture in the gel ink may react with the natural elements in the clay, preventing it from curing. For decorating clay, oil-based paint pens or markers made specifically for ceramics are much more effective and will dry completely. InkJoy Gel Pens are best reserved for paper, card stock, and similarly absorbent surfaces where they can perform as intended.
