All of my home made sticks were marked w/ a Sharpie & while a little blurred, have held up pretty well for 10 years. I figure the Sharpie marks wood better than plastic! [Reply]  [No Email]

Filled the cans with gasoline, accidently dribbled a little gas on the outside of the can, and guess what? That little dribble of gas immediately washed off all the ink from that Sharpie.
