What do you guys use to write on glass bows
« on: December 27, 2017, 01:03:00 PM »
Hello Friends.
The title pretty much says it all. I`m looking for something better to write on my glass bows (logo, draw weight etc..). What do you guys use?
And when it the best time to write it down? before/after first coat of finish?

Indian ink or modern acrylic equivalent. You can get whatever style nib you want. It will look professional.

I have a pen from another company that has a different nib or point. The one from Thunderbird that I have had back when Dave was still around makes a much better line.

I do it after the second coat then dry the ink with a heat gun, that sets it before coating with water based Polyurethane. A big smear will appear without drying it.
