[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Thread on highlighting receiver markings

Posted: 4/13/2006 5:51:34 PM EDT

I know there was a topic where one person asked about what media you all use to highlight receiver markings. Some with white, some with red. Where is it? There were some neat pics that went along with that.

Can some kind person post a link to that thread?

Some said they used crayon, which I think would melt off with enough shooting. Others used some kind of paint but I forget what kind.

Thanks

A crayon works fine.

The crayons won't melt off. They do wear off eventually. I don't have a steady enough hand to use paint so the crayon worked better.

Crayons worked perfect for me.

Rub in. Dab with clp and wipe off excess.
