Cat's Eye Fluid Chalk Inkpads Question Answered

Thei is the reply I received from Clearsnaps concerning their Fluid Chalk product. Thought you might want to know. Sandy

Dear Sandy, Thank you for your email. On the Acid Free issue, these inks are not all technically "Acid Free", because in order to determine acidity the ink is in liquid form and in liquid form the inks lean towards the acid side of the scale. They are NOT extremely acidic just not pH neutral. On the plus side, the "Chalking" element of the inks is quite basic and seems to stabilize any acidic effects after the ink dries. They do have good archival qualities, once dried completely, our scrap booking artists are all avid Chalk users and have not called in any adverse effects in their projects or any of the classes that taught. Have a great day, April Thomas Clearsnap Inc

Sandy.....SNAP!!!! I had already posted this to the group.....looks like a canned response to me!!! Marilyn

Just received the response below from Clearsnap about the Colorbox Cat's Eye Fluid Chalk. Still don't think that this response clears up the issue...LOL They say their scrapbookers are all chalking like mad and not reporting adverse effects...it is unlikely to show up instantly....ROFL I think I would err on the side of caution and stick to a fluid chalk that IS acid free.
