Allary Chalk Cartridge Set

I got this for the part on my wigs. I saw others using this same one and it didn’t disappoint. The chalk was broken in half in the package but doesn’t affect the use since it goes into the holder anyway.

This is a great marking tool on materials.

This is a great product. The colors stand out and it's very easy to use. I like the pen. It's big and chunky so it's easy to hold but the chalk is thin and makes nice fine lines. The box for the chalk keeps everything neat and unbroken. I bought one years ago and I haven't needed a refill yet. It would be nice if they made wax sticks too.

When you first put them into the chalk holder, they work really well drawing a beautiful fine line, however, given how thin they are, they get dull and run down very quickly. That being said, they come with a sharpener and multiple pieces of chalk.Also, they come in several colors and they mark fabric very easily, unlike my marking pencils, so overall, I’d say I’ve had a positive experience with these. (I have not yet had a chance to try washing the mock-up garment to see if the marks come out easily)

I love how easy it is to use. Works well for sketching out a picture as the chalk doesn't affect the paint. In my case it's acrylic paint. It was worth the money to me.

I use this with some chalk paint in order to mark my spice bottles and actually it works out very well for that.Granted, the chalk sticks are a little brittle but then again, what else would you expect from chalk? And the little sharpener works about as well as any of those hand sharpeners do (which is to say, not wonderfully) but, again, that's just such a universal complaint (I've lost a fortune in eyeliner to those things alone) that I can hardly blame the company for it.That being said, there are enough replacements that I don't have to worry about that for a while and the colors are nice and bright.

These are great Easy to write with.

Ok, I am going to address the handful of issues the other users mentioned here. Regarding my knowledge of usage and materials behavior: I paint, I draw, I sketch, I sew, I bead, I do paper quilling and stained glass, have worked with wood much, and do/tinker with/or spend much time doing several other arts, crafts and playing music. For the past 40 years. So that goes to say I can tell the difference in quality of most arts and crafts products, and have acquired a large inventory of products over the years, in variety and purpose.Regarding this one:A: Only the WHITE sticks are actual CHALK. The colored sticks are the same material as coloring pencils lead, of the waxier type.B: IF you are looking to mark fabrics with the colored sticks but want the markings to disappear, DO NOT use this product. As I stated in A, the colored sticks are waxy. The markings will not wash off. You're better off using the kids' sidewalk chalk, or the regular sized colored chalk from Crayola, or Rose Art, or whatever generic brand chalk. I have had no problems marking my fabrics with these, including my wedding dress.C: Regarding the breakage. Keep only about a quarter of an inch (or about 7mm) of the chalk's tip exposed. This will maintain the pressure fulcrum supported inside the cartridge. Same concept as with mechanical pencils and with regular wood pencils: If the tip is too long, it will break when you put pressure on it with your hand and try to slide it across the surface. And some people (like me) use naturally more pressure than others to write.D: The white chalk looks great, just like regular size chalk, on the blackboard, for smaller, detailed designs, writing, etc.E: the pencil sharpener that comes with it works great! It sharpens the sticks to the perfect size. Be careful not to introduce the stick too far into the sharpener or it will break at a point where the most pressure is being applied (usually a slight curve created by the twisting/turning). Chalk is not meant to curve, at all! The waxy tips may have a little curve-tolerance, but still very little at shorter lengths. Hope this helps.
