The paint doesn't start to flow until the tip touches a surface. It's magic!

It is helpful to think about how to erase a little blob or slightly too wide a line. I do this a variety of ways including with a toothpick or a paper towel dipped in paint thinner. Sometimes my finger is supporting the paper towel and sometimes it is some kind of pointed object.

I bought a set today and can't wait to try them out!
Glad they were mentioned, I also found out that they were used by ceramicists to line their work before firing.
