Jimmyjigs Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 I have been using a brown or black permanent marker to darken flash material. How long can I expect this to last in saltwater? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Get a bowl of salt water and put the flash in there to see what happens. You can leave the bowl out of sight out of mind and refill with salt water periodically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmyjigs Posted February 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Cadman,Good suggestion. I try to fish with them but usually loose them before the marker comes off. Jimmyjigs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to fish with them but usually loose them before the marker comes off. Jimmyjigs I do that with hooks sometimes. I'll fill a bowl with warm water, mix salt in and keep doing that until it won't dissolve anymore. Then just put your item in the salt water. You can weigh it down with something if you want. If the water starts evaporating, just do the procedure again. you can put it off to the side and leave it there. Periodically you can check on it to see your results.
