And then give a coat of varnish to waterproof?

Lovely idea for rainy days :-)

I don't think waterproofing is necessary - you use the pen to 'emboss'
the metal, rather than to write on it with ink. Not sure what to make of
the label on the reverse side though - it seems it's just to use as a
template to cut around, but I suppose it will eventually weather off,
exposing the paint of the can....
