  Lots of detailed responses to my question about poor etch resist of
  sharpie pen - thak you all!



  Seems others find the Sharpie unacceptable.  One response suggested I go
  to an office supply store and try many demo pens on a pcb then etch them
  and choose!  A great idea, but not for me as I have not extra time at
  the moment!  



  The best idea for me was to use a Staedtler waterproof marker.  I do not
  know if these are very fine point, but I will try to find one today in
  an arts store.



  Does anyone have any other pen recommendations?  Am I one of the last
  pen resist users - everyone else uses photoresist or other methods?  I
  thought there would be a standard choice all of you experienced board
  people would jump in - in unison and tell me to go out and get!
