Just about to finish my latest project found the above pen really useful.. I will apply some clear acrylic and flex coat later... It will be finished and ready to fish in the morning....

Looks good GH, is it fast drying, and if you made a mistake, can you easily remove it, and start again.?

It is easy to clean a little white spirt will clear any mistakes on the blank.
I had several attempts before I was happy.
I had practiced on an old carbon kite shift without a single mistake until I put my my pen on the blank.... the lumens of the 'e' and the '6' required several re-takes......
