Anyone have any tricks on being able to read the phone number on the brass name plates easier? Seems a couple of years, you cant hardly read them, they discolor etc. maybe all this water eats at the brass. I heard somewhere, if you run a crayon over the number it stays quite a while, anyone else know of anything?

INK USE A SHARPY OF WHATEVER COLOR YOU WANT, PUT TIP IN LETTERS GET PLENTY OF INK IN THERE THEN WIPE PLATE WITH FINGER. THEN LET IT DRY YOU CAN CLEAR COAT IT WITH A FINGER NAIL CLEAR COAT HOPE THIS HELPS.

Thanks guys, how long are they lasting doing it this way?. I've used the omnish, harness leather collars as long as i can remember. Nice big letters, aluminum, plates, etc. But with all the collars hanging off dogs, I guess i have to go to a 1 inch collar, in the future

IT VARIES JUST DEPENDS ON THE TERRAIN YOU RUN IN, BUT IS EASY TO REDO. GOOD LUCK

I get mine made so the #'s and letters are pushed out rather than indented they seem to last longer.

you can get a paint stick,[regular paint in a tube] rub it on, wipe off the excess, you can redo it whenever it needs it,
