Tipex is doing my head in , Depth Marking

[TF_Spuds1]

Guys ,

I have now thrown away my Tipex pen as its doing my head in with marking the depth , I can never seem to get the stuff off easily.

What do you use ?

[TF_GLEBE1]

Chinagraph pens, white one for marking your pole and a black one for writing on the side of winders.

I use tippex, but agree that its a pain to get off.
Every now and again, once I get too many marks on my kits, I use white spirits on a bit of kitchen roll to wipe it off.

Tried chinograph pencils, but didnt like the white.
Black for winders is perfect, as it will wipe off if you want to change the details.

Choose from loads of colours of chinagraphs here at RV OPs brilliant for marking and easily wipes off

I never bother with it m8 i just put small shot under float, much better IMO hope this helps + you dont end up with tipex all over the pole m8~think ~think ~think

I’ll let you into a secret. Spray a blob of furnitire polish onto a duster and lightly rub off the tipex and you’ll be amazed how easily it comes off. I use Mr Sheen.

I use a short length of no 10 elastic tie a small loop trim then slip over pole kit you can slide up or down as you want,you can even put more than one to mark more than one depth.Never had one slip either.

Get along to Home Bargains and pick up a packet of Masterpiece Oil crayons for 89p, they work really well and you can even mark your large sections with them, won’t wipe of until you want them to…..

[TF_toplights]

I use Black marker pen.~shh

[TF_MICK THE BOOKIE]

What the hell are you lot talking about?…..Marking your pole with depth of rigs?…..I just use an old rig which i think is about right….Dont tell me you lot plumb up all the time you fish.Mind you its not often i use a Pole these days…If the tip dont go round or my Waggler dont go under i am f*****.
MASSIVE LOL.~think ~think ~think ~think ~shh ~shh ~shh ~shh

Try Drennan depth marker bands.They come with a
set of Hook ups. Only £1.25 on ebay for a pack of various sizes.Just like a small elastic band.

[TF_toro]

black insulation tape easy just peel off after use spot on ok for big sections as well~shh

Never had a problem. Put on a good thick blob and it pops straight off when you scratch it with your fingernail.

Use a pellet band it works for me

Got given some Galvsafe galvanizing safe steel marker pens and now use these instead of a chinagraph pencil. They go on like a yellow marker pen, dry well but you can wipe them off easily afterwards. This link isnt the exact one but a similar kind of thing:

[TF_NathanWatson]

Just scrape it off with the blunt edge of a pair of scissors, easy! Tried chinagraph pencils and thought they were crap!

[TF_endpeg]

Those galvanising pens are just like a tippex pen but no scratching off required, just a damp cloth/finger – but it also doesnt come off accidentally while fishing.
