    Handiest Edge Tint

    I'm wondering which opaque edge tint process would work best for finishing sun tinted jobs that end up with clear edges and safety bevels.

    It seems that a simple black or brown hand applied process would be all that I need. Are the simple tint pens user-friendly or is there another inexpensive process that anyone is using routinely with success?

    Thanks for the advice. :)

    I've always used the Hint of Tint pens. A couple of passes black or brown seem to be sufficient.

    Staedtler Permanent Special Lumicolor F??

    What about using the above A/R Marking Pen? Will it be permanent?

    Or maybe the GardenCraft Terra Cotta Black #210 Marking Pen?

    Could either of these last for some years? They only remove with solvents, normally.

    I LIKE it!

    That's getting creative. I just wonder what the mainstream wholesale labs are doing.
