Kreg Pocket-Hole Jig

Can you paint the whole side white, then lightly sand off the paint? This will leave the depressions painted white, but the rest would be blue.

Try white paint then squeegee off the surface befor it’s dry.

Or maybe try whiteout.

Or there are marking pens that have paint in them; used be steel fabricators to mark steel. Might find these at a hardware store, or Graingers or FastenAll.

Like crank49 said….. a white paint pen works pretty good.
I bought one at HF made SKM industries and called “Super Met-al”
I use it to mark notebooks, weed eaters, metal, plastic, wood, etc.
I even used it to mark a couple of neighborhood twins so I could tell the difference. I think it lasted through about 3 baths from their mama.

You may need to re-apply the Flour and water solution a 2nd time. Let it dry for 1/2 hour. This is what I did, and numbers stand out great now.

I never thought of whitening the letters on my Kreg Jig, but I “refresh” my framing square from time to time with automobile paste wax. Rub it on, wipe it off. Works great for a while.

Sharpie makes white markers. Also, most auto stores carry paint touch up markers I think would work well.

Just use correction fluid like “white out”. I had to do that on my dvd player.

I’m with Bondo. White Out works well for me. Paint it on and then wipe it off with a clean rag. The White Out pretty much fills up the depressions and stays there. It wipes off cleanly from the plastic surface so all that stays behind is what has filled in the etchings.

Don’t let it dry or tacky, as you might not be able to clean off the surface completely. You may have to repeat the process a couple times to completely fill the etchings in, but it’s worth the effort. The stuff stays there for good.

Cheers!

You guys are great! I like all the ideas. Since my wife suggested White Out also, I’m obligated to try that first. Dallas, that’s a really funny story! Thanks a lot. —- Ned
