Hi All,
Has anyone used the Chartpak brand of wood stain marking pens.
They call it a "Woodcrafters marker".
It is a pigment based stain with zylene as the vehicle.
Zylene will evaporate once in contact with the atmousphere.

I saw these in the local arts and craft store and thought what a
great way to precisely put some color on my strip deck.

My concerne is; what kind if any chemical interaction there will
be between the color and the epoxy.
I plan to do a test strip and wait 48 hours between the stain
coat and the epoxy resin coat.
