[SML] Scenery Labeling

[PATRICK MCCREARY]

Pentel makes a white enamel paint marker in two sizes (100W and 100W-S) 
that I've used successfully on lighting instruments. Several other 
companies make enamel markers in other colors. I'd probably opt for the 
liquid type, rather then the solid 
hope-enough-rubs-off-and-that-it-adheres-well type. Staples, among 
others, should have several varieties.
