Bottle and tank marking

[Peter Goodman]

Greetings Planetarians,
Does anyone know of a fine marker which is PG/VG proof, for marking plastic bottles and glass tanks?
To date I have sanded a section of the plastic bottles and tried a Sharpie permanent (NOT) marker and the Pilot super colour pens, Niether of which is liquid proof.
Has anyone got any experiences/recommendations to relate?

Use any fine marker pen that you are happy with.
The trick is once it is dry give it a coat of clear nail varnish.

I put nail varnish on the marks on my syringes for the same reason.

Thanks. I don't use nail varnish but each to his own, lolal!

Neither do I.

You could actually buy a bottle..............................

No offence meant.
I may have take your advice, if no one comes up with a functioning marker to satisfy my pathological laziness.

Write it on with sharpie then cover with cello tape

Another reasonable suggestion, thanks. Unfortunately Sellotape is not juice proof either. A car paint touch up pen (cellulose) would be the answer but I don't think they come fine enough?

I've just found a fine marker from Pentel which claims to be cellulose based and permanent. Will give it a try and report back if successful.
