Product Overview

Getting your message across, come rain or shine, is vital for any pub, café, or shop. This is where the Securit All Weather Chalk Marker comes in. It’s a professional-grade, bright white chalk pen designed specifically to withstand the famously unpredictable British weather, ensuring your outdoor signs and  A-boards always look sharp, clear, and  inviting, without smudging or fading when the clouds roll in.

Perfect for hospitality and  retail businesses, this robust marker is your go-to tool for creating bold, eye-catching displays. Whether you're advertising today's specials, a weekend event, or simply welcoming customers, the extra-wide 15mm tip creates lettering that can be seen from down the street. It’s the ideal partner for anyone who relies on pavement signs to draw in trade and  wants a reliable, professional finish every single time.

Featuring a clever pump-action nib for consistent ink flow and  a brilliantly opaque white colour, this pen makes creating stunning signage effortless. Forget re-writing your boards after a light shower; this marker is built to last. It’s time to make your signs work as hard as you do, whatever the weather decides to do.

Expert Review and  Insights

For any landlord or café owner, a smudged A-board is a real pet peeve. The Securit marker genuinely solves that problem. The ink is properly resilient against rain, yet the flow from the 15mm nib is surprisingly smooth, giving you great control for something so chunky. It’s a simple tool, but one that’s been done right for the job it needs to do.

  • Truly Weather-Resistant: This marker stands up to rain, saving you rewriting signs daily.
  • Requires Specific Cleaner: Water alone won't remove it, so you must use a proper solvent.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Salty Dog, a popular seaside pub in Whitby, struggled with their outdoor specials board. The sea fret and  frequent rain meant their traditional chalk signs were often illegible by lunchtime, requiring constant touch-ups.

"Our old chalk signs were a mess after a bit of drizzle. This white waterproof chalk marker is brilliant – the specials board stays looking sharp all day, no matter what the North Sea weather throws at us. It's a proper workhorse."

Mark Richardson – Landlord

The pub now saves at least 15 minutes of labour each day and  reports that their signs look far more professional, enhancing their kerb appeal.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, shake the marker vigorously for 10-15 seconds with the cap securely on.
  • Find a spare, non-porous surface (like a piece of scrap plastic or glass) for priming.
  • Gently but firmly press the nib up and  down on the surface to start the ink flow.
  • Continue this pumping action until the ink has fully saturated the white tip – it’s now ready to use!

Keeping It Going

  • Always replace the cap tightly and  immediately after use to prevent the nib from drying out.
  • For best results and  longevity, store your chalk markers horizontally.
  • To clean your board, use a dedicated cleaner for waterproof markers (like Securit Y994) and  a soft cloth.
  • Test on a small, discreet area first if you are using it on a new surface to ensure it cleans off correctly.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Marker for Your Board

Not sure which pen is right for your display? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Tip Size Matters

A 15mm tip is for big, bold lettering on large A-boards. For finer details on smaller tabletop menus, consider a 3mm or 5mm pen instead.

Indoor vs. Outdoor

For outdoor signs, 'weatherproof' or 'waterproof' is non-negotiable. For indoor-only use where it won't get wet, a standard liquid chalk pen is fine.

Colour & Contrast

This bright white offers the best contrast on traditional blackboards. Use vibrant colours from the same range to highlight special offers and  draw the eye.

Cleaning Method

Remember that a waterproof chalk marker for outdoor signs needs a specific solvent-based cleaner. Check you have the right one to avoid ghosting or residue.

Nib Shape

An oblong or chisel tip like this one is very versatile for both thick lines and  sharp edges, while a bullet tip gives a consistent, rounded line.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this pen really waterproof?

A: Yes, it's designed specifically to be weatherproof, resisting rain and  moisture to keep your message clear on outdoor signs.

Q: How do I get the ink to start flowing?

A: It has a pump-action nib. Just shake the pen well, then press the tip down on a spare surface a few times until the ink fully saturates it.

Q: Can I use this on a glass window?

A: Absolutely. It works brilliantly on non-porous surfaces like glass, metal, and  plastic, as well as traditional chalkboards.

Q: How do I clean it off my board?

A: You'll need a chalkboard cleaner specifically for waterproof markers, such as Securit's own brand (Y994). Water and  a standard cloth won't be effective.

Q: Will the white colour be bright enough on a blackboard?

A: Yes, the liquid chalk formula is highly pigmented for a bright, opaque white that stands out for excellent readability.

Q: How big is the tip?

A: This is a 15mm white chalk pen for restaurants and  pubs, meaning the tip is extra broad for large headlines and  text you want to be seen from a distance.

Q: Is the tip round or square?

A: It features an oblong (chisel) tip. This lets you create both thick, bold strokes with the flat side and  finer lines by using the edge.

Q: Is this pen sold in a pack or singly?

A: This product is for a single white chalk marker, sold individually.

What Customers Are Saying

Finally, a chalk pen that actually works outside! Stays on in the rain but comes off easily with the right cleaner. Highly recommend this for any outdoor signs.

Sarah B. – The Corner Deli, Bristol

Great, bold line and  properly waterproof. A bit tough to get the ink flowing at first, but once you do it's fantastic for our A-board.

Tom P. – The Rose & Crown, York

These are the only pens we use for our outdoor menu. The all weather chalk marker 15mm is perfect for big, clear writing that our customers can actually read.

Why a 'Pump Action Nib' Makes All the Difference

Ever used a marker that starts off faint and  streaky? The pump-action nib on this Securit Y976 chalk pen is designed to prevent that. Think of it like a manual pump for a water bottle. Before you first use it, or if it's been sitting for a while, the ink needs a little encouragement to flow to the tip. By pressing the nib down a few times on a spare surface, you're 'priming the pump', which fully saturates the nib with rich, liquid chalk. This simple action guarantees you get a bold, consistent, and  solid line every single time you write, putting you in complete control of the ink flow for perfect, professional-looking results.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Pubs & Bars: For advertising daily specials and  events on outdoor A-boards that won't smudge in the rain.
  • Cafés & Bistros: Perfect for creating bold, welcoming menu boards and  pavement signs that draw in passing trade.
  • Farm Shops & Greengrocers: Ideal for clear, weatherproof pricing on outdoor displays, keeping information legible for customers.
  • Garden Centres: A brilliant tool for labelling plant sections and  creating robust outdoor signage that withstands watering.
