Title: Aaarrrg!
Post by: Dwayne on April 11, 2019, 06:17:32 PM

So what's best for panel lines on $kote I asked, why a Sharpie they replied, cool should I shoot some clear over top I asked, why yes you should shoot some clear over top they replied, so I shot some clear over top, if I ever run into "they" I'm going to bop them in the nose.  LL~ HB~>

 FWIW I've used the Sharpies with success. When it came time for clear I started by gradually building it up with several light "dry" coats. A bunch of them first, allow to dry thoroughly, then take a big breath and give it one good final coat without going to too crazy with it.

I've successfully used a sharpie using about the same method as Wayne. However I also discovered the sun fades sharpie markers rather quickly.

I use Micron pens with Mylar ink. But pretty much the same as what Wayne said.

My question is:  Did you wipe the surface down good before the Sharpie application?   Also do one area at a time.  I have to wear gloves when I do some thing like this as my hands have oils as well as the surface of MonoKote. ???

 Yeah, I've noticed the same.

All fixed and looking quite "sharp" (see what I did there?  <= ) if I do not say so myself. There's 2 lightly misted coats so far and all is well.
Thanks for the help.

Looking good.  If you find "Them" I get seconds!

It's Monkote  no need to worry about going though the finish so I used thinners, came right off real easy.
