Kia ora, JKA! >I have a task coming up on the weekend that may require taking notes while paddling. Rather than use my precious, and expensive, waterproof notepaper, I am after something that will write on my glass deck, or a stick-on to that. I use Aquarellable pencils--you can write on glass, or other smooth surfaces--even when wet. 8406 "Stabilo" pencil by Schwan ..... on one side it says, "paper glass, plastic, metal "Aquarellable" , and on the other side, it says Schwan All Stabilo 8045. It is black and green and has no eraser. You should be able to find them in drafting or art supply houses. The lead writes very well when wet. The wood starts to crack and lose the lead after a season of wet and dry cycles. Nothing duct tape or #8 wire can't fix. I just did a quick Internet search. Looks like Aquarellable pencils are also popular with Henna tattoo artists--for drawing sketches on skin before tattooing. "Sharpie" markers write well on a _dry_ deck, and never wash off. Their markings will come off with regular hairspray (which is full of acetone). Cheers! Shawn _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Win 1 of 4,000 free domain names from Yahoo!
