[Milsurplus] Lazy Man's Way to Fix Black Wrinkle

[Dennis Weal]

I always keep a supply of Sharpie, Magic Marker and paint pens as well as wood stain markers in the wonder box. Markers are also handy to cover spots on speaker grills (metal, plastic and fabric) and leather carrying handles. Great for those "oops" moments. Hi Hi

I've been known to use a Sharpie pen to touch up small dings and scratches on dark-colored blued, parkerized or anodized gun parts, too. While it's noticeable up close, it's still less distracting than a bright silver spot on a dark background. I hadn't thought of trying a marker touch-up on a large surface before. Thanks for the idea! I've usually been able to remove the marker ink easily with some alcohol, so it's a fairly reversible and nondestructive technique as long as the item being touched up isn't damaged by alcohol. -- Mark J.
