Despite the fact that today in stores you can find markers for every taste and color, the skill of making a marker with your own hands may be useful to you. You can pour any liquid (paint, oil or glycerin) into a hand-made marker, and such a marker will provide you with significant assistance in technical and repair work and any other activity. The advantage of such a marker is also that it will not cost you money to make it - you only need the shells from the used cosmetics.
Instructions
Step 1
To create a highlighter, you need a used foundation packaging that resembles a thick long marker. A product that can be removed from the package by twisting and squeezing is suitable for you.
Step 2
Disassemble the packaging from the foundation and rinse it thoroughly so that there are no traces of makeup inside. In order not to spoil the packaging of the future marker, disassemble it carefully, taking care not to damage the threads of the plastic tubes.
Step 3
After rinsing the containers from the foundation, remove all unnecessary elements from them - remove and discard the spring, and also remove the direction of rotation limiter from the package so that you can not only squeeze out the contents of the package, but also draw in new liquid, as is the case with a reusable syringe.
Step 4
Once you've got any liquid inside your container, screw the packaging tightly, remove the cap, and twist the marker body first one way and then the other to make sure you've done everything right.
Step 5
With the help of the rotating body of the marker, you can adjust the volume of the liquid coming out, which is a convenient feature of such a homemade marker in any situation: from simple drawing to smearing radio components and printed circuit boards with any fluids.
