does anyone kno good places to get string inks in vancouver?

i searched around the forums and it seems sharpies and airbrushes r a good substitute, but i'd like for the ink not to come off the string or onto the bird.

thnx

i suggest forget about putting ink on the strings, it makes the shuttle really dirty. and i am not aware of any ink that does not come off, even yonex ink comes off.

(mod: thread moved to marketplace forum.)

carefull with 'normal' paint of spraypaint....

my few lessons in those chemicals tought me they contain solvables (is that the correct term? In ducth it's "weekmakers") wich are chemicals that soften up plastics, like strings...

string-ink is made specifically for strings, and doesn't contain solvables.

and a personal experience: a logo tires very fast...it's only funny the first 3 times...
