White Out.. the typwriter stuff

Lay it in the letters, let it dry.
Scrape it flat with an edge to remove the excess.
Wipe the excess away

Works great.

Funny, this is exactly the process used to wax skis.

use a white china marker available from most hardware stores degrease the area and rub the marker into the numbers clean off excess with rubbing alchol is how I did mine. China markers are also available in red if you feel like doing fire selectors.

I've used the china markers on my Garands and they turned out fantastic. I purchased for $20 instructions and a special tool to do the intricate writing in enamal

... I haven't had the time or patience to give it a try

... PS. the number 1 ingrediant when doing this ---ready for this --- PATIENCE.... heheheheh.

I will post pics after I give it a shot.
