Sharpies and plastic just don't mix!?

Question

I just finished doing a really cool design on an organizing case and realized the sharpie just rubs off! How can I get it to stay on?

Answer 1

There are some plastics that sharpies just won't stay on! If you want to write or draw on plastic try paint pens, like Zig, you can get them in all different colors and metallics at Michael's or craft stores, you can even write on ceramics, which by the sharpies also rub off of.

Answer 2

blow on it and wait for it to dry...

arent sharpies permanent though?

Answer 3

~ there is a marker called a 'Slick Writter". It is designed to use on slick, plastic surfaces. You are right a sharpie even fully dried will scratch off with little effort. The slick writer is what you need. You can find the at office depot or staples.
