    If you lightly sand the labels [a second or two] a decent pencil stays on.
    We used chinagraph pencils at school @wild edges. I think my daughter has one. I should pinch it.  ;)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Chinagraph pencils are made of a hard wax. The writing doesn't rub off like graphite and doesn't fade like ink and they write on most surfaces. I've been really impressed with them.

    They write on glass, I read. I will check them out.

    I would expect a dishwasher to inactivate the Corona virus, depending on the temperature.

  • Huh, I posted on Problem Solving a while back on this very subject, I shall get one of those pens from Amazon, forthwith

    I suspect sanding always helps to make anything stick.

    I use a Sharpie.
  • You don't need a high water temp to inactive the coronavirus, we don't wash our hands in boiling water.  What is a sharpie, is it a pen or pencil, I looked up hat Amazon link, firs person gave it 1 * said it was useless and rubbed/washed off
