Labeling weights

[hazmat]

I have a bunch if the lead shot weights in the sort if plastic mesh sacks. I want to label them to easily tell the numbers. What do people use to write on those so it's visible and waterproof?

Thanks.

It will depend on your fabric but I'd try paint pens. You may need to re-mark them yearly if they see much handling. They come in many colors so you can get good contrast on any color.

Most are color coded by the bag color and/or have printed tags. You could also sew color coded tags.

Thanks, Pete. It's those standard soft pouch lead shot weights. Other than the 4-lb. ones, they're all black. I just want big numbers on them for easy identification. I guess a silver paint marker would do. I just have to find a broad one.

Mine are color coded mesh bags. Black for 1 pound, Grey for 2, red for 3.

In your case find someone that has a sewing machine to sew a fabric tag onto the bag that you can write on with a fabric marker. I can't see fabric paint staying on that open mesh very well.

A number stencil and a can of spray paint. I have some that are marked that way and are still easily readable after many hundreds of dives.

That's a great idea. Thanks.
