Yes, whiteboard markers can be used on non-porous surfaces like glass and mirrors. However, the ink may take slightly longer to dry or be more difficult to erase compared to a traditional whiteboard.

Markers with pure liquid ink, like those in the PILOT V Board Master whiteboard marker range, offer excellent visibility on glass. Just be sure to clean the surface thoroughly and test a small patch first to ensure easy removal.
