    what type of paint markers do you use to index screws?

    my apologies if this is in the wrong area; what type of paint markers do you guys use to index screws? I've been using a silver sharpie, but I think this is less-than ideal, as its very difficult to remove.

    I see a lot of guys using a red one, is it something like this?

    water based, or oil?

    links to products are greatly appreciated.

    Sincerely,

    Tom

    The type paint pen I use: uni PAINT Medium Line PX-20

    Not sure where these can be purchased at. These came pre-packaged in a service kit that we used, at a former employer. When the job was done, the pens were usually tossed. I kept mine and took them home…..just for this purpose, along with IDing new magazines.

    i use a silver sharpie too - i like that it's difficult to remove. a dot with the tip is all i put, not a line.

    Good to know now that my supply of free pens has dried up! Thanks.

    to tag along with the original question, where are some key places that one should index mark? i though there were some pictures posted before, i might be confused though.
