Real laquers generally tend to work, especially if you can apply a thick
layer.
I tried both acrylic and auto laquer and both worked, even colophony
solved in thinner.

The problem with the pens is the layer thickness, i observe that many
brands work
when new and fail over time.
I have bought the Staedtler refill ink which provides a very fresh wet tip
each time.
