    New Article: A Purple Primer Pen for Marking PVC Pipe

    Have you ever wanted to quickly mark text or numbers on PVC pipe? Here in Arizona, Magic Marker and label maker tags fade in less than a year. Yet the Purple Primer used to prepare PVC joints seems impervious. This article shows you how to modify a $5 pen to meter out Purple Primer.

    The challenger was that this primer is mostly acetone which melts most marker bodies. The solution was to buy a marker used to remove nail polish. Most nail polish remover contains a lot of acetone.
