redg8r Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 as long as your not thinning your devcon with any solvents, try a micro-tip Sharpie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranking Jack Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 You could also use a custom rod signature pen from Jann's. Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeeter Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 Tally, Any kind of permanent ink will work. Just make sure it is dry before you coat it. And like the rest of the guys said..... no solvents. Skeeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coley Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 A gel pin works great. Coley & Boyhowdy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tally Posted December 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 Thanks- I used a permanent marker, but even after 30 minutes, it wiped off. Will the devcon cover it with out smearing? I went out last night and bought black India ink and a dip pen. I would prefer to use a thin marker. Tally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackjack Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 Tally, If you are making baits with a lexan bill what not use an engraver and mark the bill. I've seen gus that use lettered punches to mark the bills it looks pretty cool!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 I'm with Red....I use different color micro sharpies.... They turn out well and many people ask how I paint my name so small! LOL I have aslo seen where you can print your name out on a laserjet printer on acetate film and epoxy that into the clearcoat. It looks pretty good to especially if you want to add a logo. Chip :idea: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 You can any kind of marker. What I do is shoot a very light coat of clear water base sealer over the signature only. Then it will not run or smear when the clear coat is applied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tally Posted December 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Thanks Guys! Sounds like a lot of different options. I'll fool around with it for a while until I find which way I like best. Tally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeeter Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Tally, Don't fool around with it. Go to a hobby shop and get a marker with Archival ink. It works.... Period. Skeeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tally Posted December 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 O.K.---O.K. Skeeter!!!!! I am going to change your name to "daddy", you don't ever beat around the bush. You just get your point across extremely well. Tally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
