Hot take: I finally started using a torque seal pen instead of a paint stick and I was dead wrong about it
I fought switching for almost a year because I figured the pen was overpriced for what it does, but a lead here in Tucson handed me his during an A-check and the line was way cleaner and took half the time. I marked 14 cannon plugs on a 737 and not one smeared when the panels went back on, so now my paint stick sits in the drawer. Anyone got a brand that survives skydrol better, or is that just something I have to live with?
