Default Magic markers

Hi Craig,

I have tried Dykem, and many other highlighters. The best by far is a Magnum Magic marker. These are monster sized markers.

When I wrote that original article about taking dents out at that time I used a file to skate across the metal to highlight the highs and lows. I no longer use a file. I use stickit 220 or 150 sandpaper on a 6 inch round by3/8" thick disc of baltic birch plywood. For large low crown panels I use a 2.5" wide x 16" piece of 3/8" aluminum with a boardfile 150 or 220 stickit paper.
