Marking Pen - Item #33-196

$3.50
Qty.   

Marking Pen for Plant Markers

This marking pen is a great companion for any zinc-plated or steel plant marker. The fiber tip is better than the felt tip found on other markers because it won't "mush-up" with use.

  • Ink is kept fresh by means of a ball valve
  • Ink reservoir holds 8 to 10 times more ink than similar markers

      Comments about Marking Pen:

      Two things: First of all, I read all of the comments before I purchased this item. What I discovered is that if I followed the directions carefully, this marker was very effective. But I had to shake, and then press the point down until the ink began to flow. If I stopped writing for more than a few minutes, I had to repeat.

      Second, we recently had over 10" of rain in less than 2 weeks. None of the markers I used this on "ran". (I purchased the aluminum plant labels at the same time.) Now our heat index has been between 100 and 110 degrees and I haven't noticed any fading. We rarely have ice or snow so I can't say how the ink/paint will fare in that weather, but here in SE Texas it works great.

            Excellent for writing on markers. Does not wash or fade off. Now I can see what I wrote. Very helpful.

                  Comments about Marking Pen:

                  I've been using this brand of gardening marker for years and it is hands-down the best permanent marker out there. Long after Sharpie's have faded away, this marker withstands a lot of abuse and time in the sun. If you want to still be able to read what you planted months later, this is the tool for the job.

                      Marker works fine on the plant tags I ordered, but it makes a rather thick line, so a light touch is needed when writing the plant info on the tag.

                            Nice marking pen, writes with ease. Has sharp point that makes for easy legibility. Haven't had it long, but hoping the markings will hold up under the Florida sun conditions.
