I want to number glass (much more invisible than black ink when
right-side up), and perhaps use it on dark objects so that I don't have
to put down a gray layer of paint before I write the number in black.
Especially for objects that the number is less concealed, a slab of gray
would be much more noticeable than the number in white, I think.
I'd just like to simplify things, if possible.

Subject: Re: [MUSEUM-L] white marking pens
does it have to be white?
what are you trying to mark?
Sharpie, Pen-Touch, DecoColor, Pilot, Marvy, and Krylon all make
enamel based paint pens which will write on pretty much anything. I
don't know what else they put in the pens besides paint but sometimes
large amounts of clear liquid will come out and stain whatever you're
working on (this usually applies when trying to fill a large area, not
just simple writing.)
these paint pens come in all colors, including white - however, the
lighter colors tend to make less than opaque marks on a consistent
basis. silver and gold tend to perform the best. make sure you test
out the pens before working on anything important, they all have a
tendency to leak
if you want to get into pen and nib, Windsor and Newton makes a really
good white calligraphy ink - which, for whatever reason, makes a
consistent and opaque marking. its kind of like white out on a more
professional level.
all of this stuff should be available at Dick Blick
