I have Googled, Ebay'd and dug around a bit, maybe not the right keywords. I am looking for about an inch wide black marker pen , the type used by scrotes to tag trains and tubes. I need it/them to do borders on my Retro flavoured home made wall hanging, to seperate out the different stories. Can anyone help before the mods find and move or kill the thread please ??

Hi Rian,
Nice wall. (Never thought I'd be saying that about a wall!!)
Might not be waht you want, but another option/solution would be insulating tape. With a marker pen you'll run the risk of wobbly lines unless using a straight edge....which you then run the risk of ink bleed under the edge etc....
With insulating tape you can take your time, reapply (as long as it's not pressed down hard) and get perfect edges every time. Rub it down once done then apply some heat from your Nicola's haridryer to get it to bond better to the paper. Job done. No hassle, no stress and no mess.

You are spot on Bruce, the insulation tape was and is plan B, as I have a load of rolls, and in different colours, as one gets in bulk packs, however, I had thought the imperfection of a freehand drawn frame would look more authentic, but you have me thinking now, as it may be better done very neatly, and only in black. Hairdryer.... erm, not one in this house, but I do have 2 electric paint stripping guns. |

I bought them from a shop just off Oxford St in London for my cousin last time, can't remember the name of it which isn't much use!
I'll send him a message and see if he can remember!

but i would of thought most art shops would do something - though they will be rediculously overpriced

They're in Hobbycraft. Just move it quickly, you'll get a straight line.
