Re: Permanent Marker /Paint Pen /DOCband

I tried this too. Even industrial strength Sharpies come off with

rubbing alcohol and even just wear from the baby rolling around, and

it's really hard to clean the band without getting alcohol on the

outside. The stuff you use to seal it may also cause the marker to

run.

I got some 3-D paint from the craft store. I think it is supposed to

be used on fabric, but I tried it on the band and it still hasn't

come off after 2 months of this boy sliding around on it (I

wrote " Prince " on the back of the helmet and of course he

sleeps on his back and moves around in the car seat). It takes a

while to dry so I sat there with a blow dryer, and you have to

practice a bit before you try writing with it or you might get air

bubbles coming out and messing up what you want to write. Hold the

bottle upside down and tap it for a minute before you write to get

the bubbles out of the tip.

on sealing the band when we get home to perserve the writing so I

will need something that won't come off in the process. Any help is

greatly appreciated!!!!

Hi ,

Maybe a permanent laundry pen would work. I just don't know if it

will write on plastic. It definitely will not come out of fabric. I

got some at Walmart to mark dd's clothes that I am loaning.
