I like the bullet tip on this marker writes well. I can use it on paper, glass and plastic so far. I don’t anticipate it would have a problem in wood like a cutting board or desk but haven’t tried. You need to really snap down the lid, but I like to have a few of these around the house on hand but out of reach from children. Colour is opaque and smooth writing. Haven’t attempted to get it off any surfaces so not sure about the clean off.
