Marking bows?

[PEARL DRUMS]

What do you guys use to sign, or mark draw weight and such on bows, under poly? Thanks

I've used a Sharpie but they eventually fade. I now use India ink with a coligraphy pen or a quill pen.

I use a Sharpie brand Paint pen.  It's oil based, and extra fine point.  It hasn't smeared once.  I picked it up at a craft store.

Why a marker, of course.  Use industrial Sharpie's.  They last longer than consumer versions which will fade in a year or less.  I've had industrial Sharpie's on bows for 10 years.

Im with Scrub-buster.. I use the sharpie brand paint pen.. I bought black and silver.. med and fine point.  Long as you  let it dry, it works great.

Sakura pen touch, avialable at art and craft stores.  Work great, come in white and gold.

I use white India ink with a metal nibbed calligraphy pen.  I use it on bows, arrows and leather.  It works great for me.

Would a stamp work?

I tried the India ink and calligraphy pen with the metal tip,but could never get it to work right.The tip keept diging into the finish.Now i use a fine tip art pen thats water proof.i still put a couple coats of finish over the writing.

The Sakura pen-touch paint pens work well, but I have changed to india ink and a quill pen.  I like the ability to write very small and fine, which I can't do with the paint pens.  Here is an example of each.

Oh yeah, the bottom one definately looks better. Do you know if anyone has ever tried a stamp of any kind? I read somewhere that Bear uses silk screen to put thier logo on, do you know how that works?
