I bought this pen for a craft project. I planned to use it to write some words on a ceramic travel mug. The paint flowed very well and covered perfectly. I cured it per the instructions (I am a ceramist that means I have an advanced materials engineering degree, with a focus in ceramics), and I'm an amateur potter. So, on two counts I should've been able to get this right. I was a bit concerned about using this pen on a previously glazed surface, but the reviews were generally great, and the product specifically indicated it could be used on glazed surfaces.
Fast forward (not much)... 3 washings, by hand, no abrasives or "scrubby" sponges... my friend told me more than half of the writing is gone. Not faded, gone.
Fast forward again... 2 more washings, again by hand, and all the writing is gone. Poof!
Well, at least she likes the mug.
I would not recommend this pen for anyone who is doing a project unless:
1) the object will not be washed after curing
2) you paint on an unglazed surface. ** I'm still not sure how it would wear, but it would likely (have to!) last longer than on a glazed surface
3) you apply a clear glaze over the paint after curing, if you are planning to wash the item

Used these pens on a glass project but had to apply a few coats for it to show up non-translucent. The tip was kinda thick but it was rather easy to use but not the best i've tried.
