There's an article in the current Federation of Fly Fishers magazine about the Copics, and it looks like an interesting tool. Is the consistency more like an ink,or a paint? Does it soak into feathers like dye?
I have an old Testors airbrush (for model airplanes) that I use with water-based acrylics to paint poppers. It works pretty well, but the paint would not work on feathers or other materials -- it would stiffen them up. If the Copic can be used to custom-dye maribou and saddle hack while preserving the action of the feather, that would be pretty helpful.

I got one in September. Played with it initially a bit and was really pleased with the results. As I read, some of the markers worked really well and others didn't work at all. A light pull on he tip of the marker,--
