I sent that one badge on the right through maybe 3 times total and it still looked like that so 🤷‍♀️ guess i'll die

Damn, weird! Could also be the dry time, sometimes Posca pens don't cure or dry completely right away. I've noticed when I try to varnish a Posca piece right away, it can smear, but waiting a day, it won't smear. Hope you can get to the bottom of the mysteries!
