Ohaus 10-10: Improving Readability Of Small Poise Markings

[The following is NOT a big problem - at all. But after setting the scale and going through a loading session I think about it.]

The black (paint?) that was placed in the number and line markings that are etched into the small poise is wearing off, making readability *slightly* challenging. I've been wondering for a while if it is possible to re-mark those lines somehow.

Has anyone done anything like this on this scale? Through another forum I've learned that some people use a white china marker to make the indented lettering on their Garand rifles white so they're easier to read. So having just learned of that method for Garands, I'm wondering if it might be an option for my poise situation. The silver poise may make the white not very (or at all) readable. I think these china markers come in other colors - so maybe I just try to do it in black. I'm thinking it might give the scale a fresher look overall as well.

Comments or other ideas?

Thx.

Thanks all.

I like the Sharpie idea. I think those "china markers" are basically grease pencils. I wonder if the weight of the material might throw off the scale?

I may practice on something to try the technique prior to trying it on the scale.

Thanks again!

This is a cool idea! Just the other day I was noticing how hard it can be to read the diameter numbers marked on the RCBS trimmer pilots. In fact, those are probably good things to practice on.

Thx.
