The Blue Sharpie thread
- Thread starter pblaze725
- Start date
At work we use blue, red, black and silver.
Each has a purpose.
Blue is used on painted and bare metal
Red is used on yellow primer metal
Black is used on paperwork and noobs who listen to Journey
Silver is used on black painted metals

The silver doesn't seem to hold up in my line of work. A shame since my eye sight seems to be waning.
If we use blue on yellow primer it doesn’t come off.
Oh I’m about to funk this thread up.....

You mean, your about to show some work with a (insert dramatic music) black sharpie?
No he’s gonna hit his 25k post in the sharpie thread
Haha no I actually love the pink sharpies. I buy them in bulk. I found it to be super helpful to see on aluminum while Beadrolling compared to any other colors.
It's hard to beat silver sharpie on raw steel you haven't sanded/ground yet.
I use gold alot too. And these silver pencils for finer work.
Blue: (x2)
Silver:
I like them both, but Silver definitely is good for plasma cutting and maintaining high-contrast when the arc is going....

I've never seen this thread before.
It looks like 5 pages of amateurs...lol!
Only thing I use as my "go to" is a markal silver streak.
Actually lots of stuff and colors for different purposes.
But I'm generally old school with my silver streak or plain ol' chalk.

Is that kinda like a fat mechanical pencil?

Yep, exactly what it is. Just with the silver grease. It's the same thing you posted. Just a mechanical vs a regular pencil.
I was wondering... I went and found one on Amazon after you posted that. And in looking at it the refills tipped me off lol. I was at first thinking actual refillable marker.
Either way it's in the shopping cart

I would hate to actually have to buy them at 10 bucks. Always took them from work.
Would hate to know how many I've lost over the years...

$7 on Amazon, plus $14 for 2 packages of refills.
I got the pencils I got from farm and fleet. And I think it was $10 for two
We have an old school pencil sharpener mounted to the wall. So sharpening it's not a big deal. But mechanical would be nicer.

I've used the pencil ones. They are fine to. But the markal seems to stay on the metal better.$7 on Amazon, plus $14 for 2 packages of refills.

I have drawers full of sharpies from work hahah I always pin them to my shirt and leave with them
Ordered one of these after seeing this post and got it today, it's awesome already.
thats my go to for the last 20 years, especially when using the plasma like others have said silver shows up so much easier.
