How to use

Use the Staedtler 224 C18 directly on paper or other suitable surfaces. Apply light, even pressure for thin layers and increase pressure or multiple passes for more saturated colour. For blending, layer adjacent colours while the wax is fresh and use gentle circular strokes or colourless blending tools to achieve smooth transitions. Store crayons horizontally in a cool, dry place to maintain shape and performance.

Recommendations

For best results, test the crayon on a scrap piece of paper before working on a final surface. Supervise young children during use to avoid accidental transfer to clothing or upholstery; wash marks promptly with mild soap and water. Combine with pencils, ink or water-based paints in mixed-media projects, but avoid excessive heat or direct flame.
