Word of advice: Don’t nuke watercolor pencils or pencils in a mug. They must be lying flat. I just had a black pencil explode over all of my other pencils and stain the mug it was in. Going to go out looking for a cigar humidor now.

I stopped having the problem of breakage after I placed them on a cookie sheet and placed them in the oven. You must put the pencils in a cool oven, then start heating it up to 200. Once it hits 200 degrees wait 30 minutes, then turn off the oven, but leave the pencils in there until the oven has cooled off to room temp. You will see a little wax sometimes on the outside of the pencil, but I never have problems of breakage.

I tried the microwave suggestion, first time for five seconds, second time for ten seconds, and it didn’t melt the core I still had breaks… any suggestions?

I never keep my pencil in refrigerator. Your idea help me to keep it in refrigerator, which will be best to use long time very easily. I just started to keep all beauty products in refrigerator after reading your post.

Thanks for this! How long do you wait after you microwave, until you sharpen? Do you need to put the pencil in the refrigerator first?
