Matador Customs Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 I work in a cnc shop and we use Something called Dykem in red or blue comes in brush on ink or marker pens. An engraver is the most ideal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toadfrog Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 I just print off the mold item on sticky labels . Peel off stick on . Then I clear coat over it with a paint brush . any clear coat works . Really handy for molds stored in little cubicals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerworm Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 i used to try and mark on mine then i got too many and just learned how to tell by looking in the cabinet which dozen were craws and which dozen were beaver and so on...once you use them enough you will also be able to just glance at them and tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Largehead Louie Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 (edited) Engrave That's what I do. I bought a cheap engraver from Dollar Tree for, you guessed it, $1. Runs off AA Batteries and works great. Edited October 8, 2011 by Largehead Louie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuskyGary Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I sort mine, small bass, crappie molds, swimbait molds etc. and put them in large plastic containers. This helps make them easier to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
