    Edge pens

    Hi all,
    So are those Edge pens worth the price? Are they made any different than say... a sharpie? Or some other type of marker one can find in an Art store?


    Thanks
    PS

    While different from a sharpie, the ones I've tried have not been worth the money they cost.

    Camouflage Pens are the best.

    There is a fine & skilled technique to the pens. WE use them everyday.

    I've clamped the lens in our old groover to spin it around at a constant speed, then applied the pen to the edge.
