Hi,

Any recommendations? Bought some "permenant" yellow markers from Amazon but they rub off easily.

This is to mark bolts so i can see I've torqued them and also for inspection later down the line.

Cheers

Cheers some good ideas - nail varnish, with 3 females in the house that is the cheapest solution. I will give it a go.

I use a cheapo milwaukee paint pen, was only a fiver and it's lasted 2 years so far
That's what I have right now, yellow? I find no matter how much i shake it and press the nib in to get the paint out, that I don't get much out and it leaves a very faint mark that wipes off at a later date.

The type of product I posted an image of ‘torque seal’, is designed to do exactly what you asked in the OP. When a fastener is torqued and set, you run a line of this across the fastener. Any movement or change in torque will make the line shatter off. You the have an instant visual cue that something has moved. We used to use it on the Jetranger.
Ah that is an added benefit I had not realised , I have bought one in yellow to put on my bolts.
