Dumb question, writing on slings.

Recommended Posts

I bought some slings recently. I'd like to put my name on them (so that they don't vanish like socks in the dryer) and the month and year I bought them (so I'll know when to retire them).

 

Can I use a permanent marker? Seems like a dumb question, but I don't know if any of the chemicals in the marker are going to weaken the fibers in the sling, and I figured I should ask first. This is the beginners' forum, after all.

Here's the scoop on marking ropes - and one would assume that marking slings is ok as well.

The short version is use only laundry (water based) markers, ie. Sharpie "rub-a-dub". :tup:

Advises www.bluewaterropes.com - see FAQ's.
