Sharpie Markers — 

I have used Sharpie pens for years now and keep finding more uses as time goes by. They are great for many things like labeling packages, marking computer disks or sleeves and even making graph charts for college projects. Let me share with you some of the other uses I have found over the years.....

Sharpie Permanent Markers

These come in different colors but the most useful color for me is Black and it has helped me many times over the past few years. I have 4 bar stools that seems to get chipped or scratched every time I turn around. I just grab a Sharpie and PRESTO the scratch is gone!

On my pool skimmer it has marks for the high and low water levels for the pool, well as I get older it is harder to see those marks. I used a Sharpie to mark the lines and now I can see then at a glance very easy!

In college I used them to mark rolls of developed film so I knew what each roll of negatives had on them and it saved me lots of time. It also let me know which side was what so when I needed to make a print I had the film pointing the right way. Some pictures it didn't matter on but others would look funny if they were turned backwards....lol

Recently when I installed my new horn on Lil' Blue I only had red wire to wire it up with. No problem after I finished I used a Sharpie to color the wires. Now they blend in with my frame and you can't see them. I also had a few scratches on the bottom of my frame rails and without a lift it would be hard to use a spray can to cover them up. So I used a Sharpie and away they went!

Bottom Line

I know Sharpie didn't make these markers for what I use them for but hey I get inventive sometimes....;) Although using them on anything outside is not a permanent fix because of the rust factor they will do in a pinch. I have used Sharpie Permanent Markers on many things and I have not been disappointed yet!

I love it when I find new uses for everyday items. I'm sure as time goes by you'll find even more uses for your Sharpies. Welcome back BTW! :)
