Which pen can I use to permanently mark an epoxy resin surface or carbon fibre laminate surface?

  We are happy to recommend our permanent markers and acrylic markers. With the permanent marker, such as our edding 3000, the layer thickness of the lettering is thinner and therefore its impact resistance is better.
