I find that the silver and gold pens made by Pentel are very useful for

That's my main use for them.

But make sure they do use xylene. Most of them have now switched to a
water-based formula and these are useless as any-surface markers.

It's a general rule that the dangerous stuff works the best. The Xylene pens
have "contents may be fatal if swallowed". That's what I call an
endorsement!
