P-F preferred way of placing witness marks

[YVK]

On optics' screws, that is. I've tried Sharpies and wife's nail polish. Not happy with either.

I want marks to be thin, precise, bright, and stay on yet not be permanent. What are you all using?

Nail polish. It looks like shit.

Sharpie fine point paint pens. Depending on the durability you want, oil based or water based. I’ve got green, orange, white and yellow ones. I used the red regular point ones all the time to mark test articles.

I generally use a bronze sharpie but it helps to acetone clean it first and put it in a location that won't often rub on gear.

For serious things like my duty and edc sights I use a very carefully applied dab of this.

It creates an easy to see reference that will crack if moved. They have lasted for many years on my Glocks.

I don’t have my RMR pistol with me, but I do have the pen I use. They have all sorts of colors and the white, and orange are very bright. The paint will come off with acetone or alcohol

I didn't have a paint pen so I used a silver Sharpie a few weeks ago. So far, it's still there.

Thnx, everyone. I've a ton of Sharpies here but it looks like all of mine are water based. Will try oil based and see how it goes. I

That would be the next step.
