[R-390] Lacquer Stick/Pen

[Barry Hauser]

It's the crayon-like thing.  It's a gooey lacquer inside a wax covering. You
cut the end to start using it.

You can find them at specialty paint stores and possibly also at an art
supply place like "Pearl" -- don't know how widespread a chain that is.

You might also consider acrylic paint or even wite-out.  The laquer stick
takes a long time to dry and doesn't seem to completely harden.  The acrylic
has the advantage of cleanup with water.  You may have to use some solvent
to clean up the residue of the laquer stick, in which case you have to be
careful of the panel or knob paint.
