        Hi all I’ve been making my own floats for the past year and I want to start marking the size on them like a shop brought floats any ideas what they use to mark there floats with 4×10 4×12 etc is it a special machine or transfer ??

          wished I could find out myself to been making floats for many years .mark mine with white indian ink and a fine tip nip pen the ink is water based so fine when you coat on the varnish belongs your varnish is not water based .Have seen some vids on you tube from float makers abroad and they use a transfer but where you would get them from I don’t know.
          I look forward to see what replies you get .
