I'm getting old, and I can't see white on white well.
How to Customize Aftermarket Airplane Stands
A long time ago, I had Dice Crayons that would fill in the numbers or pips on dice to make them more visible. So, why not do the same for these great stands? I looked all over, but couldn't find the Armory Dice Crayons anywhere, so I had to come up with something else. First, I tried using a Staedtler Triplus Fineliner, as I had them to hand. I colored in the numbers, and cleaned off the excess ink with a damp Kleenex. I got blue ink all over my fingers and had to redo the numbers several times, as the Kleenex would wick the ink out of the numbers, as well as cleaning off the surface.
However, the ink was much messier, compared to my memory of the dice crayons.
I went out an bought an 8-pack of Crayola Ultra-Clean washable crayons, and tried them out:
Using a dry Kleenex, the clean-up was pretty easy, and the result almost the same. I did all my other stands with the crayons! I left the lower numbers alone, as they have a bit more contrast.
Have a go, if you need the visibility.
