Got tired of the Sharpie wearing off on the carboy volume markers.
Solution: Cheap Pink Nail Polish
Cleaned the area off with rubbing alcohol and let it dry.
Applied volume markers with nail polish. let it dry and will not wash off now.
Started with regular numbers, but my penmanship sucks...so went to Romain numerals.

Oh you need to have a Metro partner like mine. Been using the nail polish tricks for years, 'cept he leans more towards chartreuse, and laser yellow!

Ken? (Not Godwin, different one) a couple of years ago brought an example where he purchased glass etching material at Hobby Lobby. He marked off a line and the numbers using the inverse of rub on letters and then applied the etching material. It looked very good.

It was something easy to do that he got from Hobby Lobby or such. I have often thought about that seminar, wishing I had wrote it down. Hopefully someone will chime in on this.

When you get some brewing experience behind you, you will have the ability to eyeball w/o such markings the volume of any size carboy
Sorry, you walked into that one!
