OVERVIEW

Keep Your Marks Visible with Markal BL Paintstik

For welders and fabricators, losing track of part numbers after the primer coat is applied is a major headache. The Markal BL Paintstik Blue solves this problem instantly. This isn't just a standard crayon; it is a heavy-duty solid paint marker designed with a special "bleed-through" formula. When you mark your raw steel beams, channels, or plates with the BL Paintstik, the mark will actually penetrate and rise through the layer of solvent-based or oil-based primer applied afterwards. This means your layout lines, cut marks, and critical part numbers remain visible for the next stage of assembly, saving you the hassle of re-marking every single piece.

Built for the tough conditions of the welding shop and the job site, the Markal BL Paintstik doesn't shy away from dirty metal. It writes effortlessly on oily steel, rusty pipes, and wet surfaces, ensuring you get a bold, readable blue line every time. The solid stick design means there is no tip to dry out or clog, and it works immediately without shaking. It is weather-resistant and UV-resistant, ensuring that marks made in the yard stay legible even after exposure to the elements.

This marker is an essential tool for anyone working in structural steel, bridge construction, or heavy equipment manufacturing. It fits standard paint stick holders, preventing breakage and keeping your gloves clean. Stop wasting time guessing which beam is which after painting. Use the Markal BL Paintstik to ensure your identification marks survive the paint booth and keep your production line moving smoothly.

FAQ

The Markal BL Paintstik is designed specifically to bleed through solvent-based and oil-based primers. It may not bleed through water-based primers, epoxies, or powder coats effectively. We recommend testing on a scrap piece first.

It is ideal for steel and iron, including surfaces that are oily, wet, rusty, rough, or smooth.

While not strictly required, using a Markal holder (like the Peterson holder) is highly recommended to keep your hands clean, prevent the stick from breaking, and allow you to use the entire marker.

Yes, the Markal BL Paintstik creates a permanent paint mark that is weather and UV resistant.

The marking range is -50°F to 150°F (-46°C to 66°C), making it suitable for extreme cold and general shop temperatures.

The bleed-through effect typically happens as the primer cures. The solvents in the primer react with the marker, drawing the pigment to the surface.

Yes, it marks well on aluminum, though its primary application is on ferrous metals that require priming to prevent rust.

No. The standard 'B' Paintstik is an all-purpose marker. The 'BL' Paintstik is specifically formulated for the bleed-through property. If you don't need it to bleed through paint, the standard B Paintstik is sufficient.
