Yes, Sharpies can dry on plastic surfaces, but the permanence and drying time can vary. While the ink may adhere well to some types of plastic, it can smudge or wipe off easily on others. To ensure better adhesion, it's recommended to use a specific type of Sharpie designed for plastic or to prepare the surface properly before writing. Always test on a small area first if you're unsure.

How long does it take to dry plastic?

The drying time for plastic can vary significantly depending on the type of plastic, its thickness, and the method used for drying. Generally, if you are referring to drying plastic after washing, it may take a few minutes to an hour to air dry, while using a heat source can expedite the process. For 3D printed plastics, drying to remove moisture before printing typically takes several hours in a dehydrator. Always refer to specific guidelines for the type of plastic you are working with for best results.
