Hi Kevin,
I use a normal HB for writing white labels and it is not affected by ultraviolet and can easily be rubbed out and the label re-used.

Hello Kevin
You could try one of the DIY sheds like B&Q or your local builders merchants. They will have things like carpenter's pencils for marking wood and tile pencils (chinagraph type) that are used for marking tile and glass.

Hi Kevin

I agree, word for word, with Johnboy. Don't bother searching

And the third wise monkey, agrees as well.

Hi all

I do believe that oldherbacious was once asked to leave the zoo because he was caught teaching the monkeys some new tricks

Well, now you know - and the mentally challenged looking one on the right is me.
Notice that OH is holding the horticultural pencil - at least I think that's what it is

Monkeys aside, Kevin, what about a fine-pointed permanent pen from a stationery shop? I found that pencil sometimes faded and could also not always be easily read when the label was mucky, so I now use the afore-mentioned pen.

Thank you, Oldherbaceous, Alan and JB



That has made my day
Thanks

Hi PJ,
The old Air Force saying "If you lead with your chin you should expect to get a thump" seems to be true.
