The strips of aluminum can will have sharp edges, so you might want to

I think cutting up a bleach jug and using a permanent marker might be a

better
idea. No sharp edges and the plastic lasts a long time.


hdpe goes fast in uv's. all pe resists glues, paints, markers.

btw, laundry marker lasts longer (1 yr) than sharpies (3 months) when
exposed to sunlight.


Could be a use for
old floppies too. Thread a wire or string through the hole and write on

the
floppy with a marker.



fwiw, aol cd's in sun don't hold sharpie very long either.
