Thanks Steve. I am ordering some in a few minutes. They look like they will work good. If they show up on stainless and aluminum like the silver does on steel that would be most excellent. The sharpies work good, but after a while the tips flatten out and you cant keep a good sharp line with them.Otto Nobedder wrote:The red "silver streak" refills I referred to are called "Red Riter", seen here:

I use weldinmike's technique a lot, especially on thin pipe I'm too lazy to bevel. just butt the joint and take a grinder on a 45 degree angle and run it down the seam for a shallow 45 degree bevel. easy to follow and lets the bead lay a little flatter on the outside surface on thin stuff.

Hey if your havin trouble with your sharpies, which ones are you buyin? You need to buy the big ol fat ones, ya know the ones the taggers use to make graffitti. They last alot longer and the tips will right on anything.
I found that the normal sharpies didnt last very long doin layout on a dusty concrete floor and like you said didnt make a very good fine point after a while. The big old fat ones work great though, can get a real fine point and they last.

Signature? Who needs a F***ing signature?

Just be aware the color of your lens will affect the visibility.jpence38 wrote:... If they show up on stainless and aluminum like the silver does on steel that would be most excellent...Otto Nobedder wrote:The red "silver streak" refills I referred to are called "Red Riter", seen here:
