Well I’m borrowing my wife’s sharpie first.
I tried that stuff long ago. I wasn't too happy with it. Since then, I've always used a Sharpie. As it was cheap, worked, and was handy.J~
Well I was surprised by the amount of advice. But last night I polished the ends up and stole my wife’s Sharpie. I find that the piece being underneath the scope can barely be seen anyway and it’s certainly not going to get any wear. Will probably add the Aluminum Dark to our next Amazon purchase but don’t want to pay a shipping cost more that the product. The violet tinge kind of matches the tint of the lens?
