Uni Paint marker is water and fade resistant for accurate labelling

(15/09/2006)

Accurate labelling, particularly on electrical junction boxes and wiring systems is becoming more important as contractors and keen DIYers face increasing scrutiny from local authority building inspectors.

Selecting the proper writing instrument is key to ensuring that warning notices on electrical cable and junction boxes is legible and will last, particularly when people need to be warned about live electrical cables.

Many plumbers and DIY enthusiasts will agree that it is hard to find a marker to write on surfaces such as copper and plastic pipe, this usually happens because standard marker pens are not permanent or water-resistant. Mitsubishi Pencil Company, owner of the leading brand Uni-ball, has come up with a solution to this problem – the ‘Uni’ PAINT marker.

The special paint ink used in PAINT markers is water and fade resistant meaning your measurements and markings will not fade over time and the ink will not run when working on outdoor jobs or in wet areas, such as kitchens and bathrooms. The ‘Uni’ PAINT is also able to write on virtually any surface so whatever the material you are working with, be it metal, plastic, glass or wood, PAINT will do the job.

Available in a vast range of colours and three different tip sizes PAINT markers can be bought from your nearest Hobbycraft store, or online, either loose or in a variety of multi pack sizes. Prices range from £1.40RRP - £2.80RRP each depending on nib sizes.
