King Size black Sharpie is also really good for obscuring the various exterior barcodes on shipping boxes you may want to reuse.

I thought I was alone on obscuring barcodes and reusing the box!

I’m not convinced. Asian women tend to be on the petite-ish side.

I’d love to meet up with the ad-person who thought up that name and just stare at them in wonder.

King Size Sharpies are great.

But what I really, really love are Montana refillable markers:

They’ll take acrylic paint (watered to flow nicely), ink, dye – anything liquid that will flow through the heavy felt tip.

And that felt tip? It’s replaceable!

I particularly like the 2mm model:

Mind you, the Montana is much wetter than a Sharpie – more of a paint stick than a marker. (You push down on the felt tip to transfer a small measure of fluid from the main chamber to the tip chamber.)

Here is one of my Montana drawings:

When it comes to Sharpies, Milwaukee Inkzalls are better.

McKee Zebra markers are my go to. Unlike Sharpies the color doesn’t fade over time.

I get a lot of use out of the Montana paint markers that I have. I mostly use them for miniature terrain but I’ve found they are useful for labeling plastic storage bins.
