If you have ever tried writing on a plastic surface with a sharpie or other permanent marker you have probably discovered that the ink can easily smear rub off and disappear over time.

Can you write on vinyl records with sharpie.

I m not sure what type of pen to use on them though. I don t get anything signed because i don t want to haul a vinyl record with me all the way to the venue usually i get a picture. If the album cover is black then bring a metallic silver colored sharpie with you to the show. Original poster 1 point 5 years.

I want to have a sign banner made and after it s made a whole bunch of people are going to sign it. Our guest book is going to be a few 45 s that are laid out on a table and our guests can sign them. Fortunately there are a variety of methods that can successfully remove permanent marker from your vinyl item using a few common household items. That and the fact that our local stores have completely sold out of the vinyl folders my kids need i ve learned a way to reuse the ones from last year that are still in good shape but unfortunately have permanent ink written all over them.

But with proper preparation you can get your sharpie to stick to just about any plastic surface imaginable. As you can imagine with school supply lists and a college tuition payment that rivals that of a mortgage we re being frugal where we can. If they are not meant to be played then you d be best advised to go to an art supply store and get a good set of latex paints. The real problem is that it is very tough to get anything to stick to vinyl.

However if a permanent marker is accidentally applied to your vinyl item be it flooring or furniture you may go crazy trying to remove the black marks. I am a music junkie that collects vinyl records. We recently came across a fun wedding idea at megann troy s oklahoma city wedding. They are big music lovers and wanted to incorporate that into their wedding day.

I ve met so many bands i enjoy at the small bar shows. Have a good time. My question is what markers pens will stay on the vinyl without smearing or turning the vinyl an alternate color. So they put their engagement photos on the center of vinyl records and placed them on the guest book table with some gold silver pens for guest to write their best wishes.
