I want to mark sheetmetal for bending.
Can't use a scribe because I'll weaken the metal.
Magic Marker is too thick.
Pencil doesn't show.
What do you use? - Mike

Word on the RV lists is that blue fine tip Sharpies are the way to go. For
some reason the blue ink lasts longer. Sharpies' lives can be extended by
injecting lacquer thinner with a needle and syringe once they start running
out of ink. Van's says that for a mark that needs to show through primer it
is ok to use an electric "vibrating" engraving pencil in spite of
admonitions against marking with a scribe.
