Title: Black glass - What to write with?
Post by: Hatrick on February 07, 2012, 08:00:00 PM
I have a couple of bows with black glass that I need to write the specs on the limbs and would prefer a white ink. Looking for some advice on what writing instrument and ink to use.

Thanks,
Dave

Just India ink and a caligraphy pen is what I use for white

Thanks, Jason. That's what I'm looking for. I have two old Howatts that I refinished and want to write the specs back on.

You may look at a fine tip paint pen.I like silver or gold on black

A white Gelly Roll paint pin works fairly well too.

I'd say extra fine or fine paint pen as well. My preference would be white. Officemax, etc has them.

Ditto on Jason's comment.  That's what I use and they're great.
