<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">B-72 can always be tricky with any kind of pen because the ink is soluble in acetone and alcohol.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">We use India ink and a quill pen, both you can get at any art supply store. India ink wont smudge what the top coat is put on. They only thing you have to worry
about is sometimes the pen is sharp and will scratch through the B-72 if it is too thin or was not given enough time to try. If you mess up you can easily remove the ink with water and a cotton swab so you don’t have to start all over again which is nice.
Another advantage is that you can use white ink for dark objects. it takes a bit or practice to use, but way easier in the end!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I'm the summer student at the Pender Islands Museum, and we've started a new project to update our museum artifact labels (many of them are currently on normal stick-on labels, in visible places). I've been trying to get B-72 Paraloid to
work on test surfaces, but regardless of what I try, the accession numbers always smudge. I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Currently, I'm putting on a layer of B-72, waiting a few minutes for it to dry, and then writing the number on with a Sakura microperm 05 permanent pen. I then wait for half an hour and attempt to apply a top coat of B-72. Without fail,
the writing smudges.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Do I need to leave it to dry for longer? I'm testing one out overnight right now to see if that works. Alternatively, is a top coat actually necessary, or would just the barrier coat and the accession number work?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
