Howzit surfding, Poscas are OK but Zig pens are great ( pigment ink not acrylic paint)if you can find the ones in the metal casings with a 6mm beveled tip. But for me there is nothing like good old india ink. I have posted this before about punching a hole in the bottom of in the bottom of a metal Zig pen and refilling it with India ink. As you use up the diferent colored Zig pens yu refill them with the same color that was in the pen before. In the days of yore, pin lines were resin or India ink.Aloha,Kokua
When I worked in HB we used resin for pinlines. I don't see it any more unless you go to Waterman's Guild.

I just thought for a first timer Poscas are cheap and easy. Your method sound pretty cool! I'll have to try it.
Thanks,

Howzit surfding, Just make sure you tape over the hole. Aloha,Kokua
How about tapping it and adding a screw with an "O" ring?
I’ve had good results with the sharpie water-based paint pens:

I seen some guy's switching to those!
The ferrule of the tip assembly is reversed threaded onto the reservoir of most paint marker. They unscrew off by turning them the opposite way you would normally unscrew most things that are made to be unscrewed. As well as India ink, you can also refill them with liquid airbrush paint like Createx and Badger Air Opaques. That will give you a greater range of colors than what’s available by the manufacturers of the markers.

Also, I found this link when I was looking for paint pens a while back. Nice little piece of research about various types or Sharpie brand markers and paint pens used on the foam or on the hotcoat: http://www.goldenzah.com/Surfboards/SurfMarkers.html.
Couple of pics of their test cases:
Can any color water based Sharpie be used? Why do I recall someone telling me only black would work?
Is this correct?
Hot coat/sand then pinline then gloss?

Herb what about this Marsh Fountain Pen?
I think the fact that you can buy pints or gallons of replacement ink.
Which Tips do you use or do you have a set of tips?
Thanks,
Surfding
i have several tips in a set + extras.
you can run paint thru them as well.
do you have a marsh pen, ding ?

Herb: I don't have the Marsh Pens.
However I will buy a set and get a few pints of ink. I'm starting to do some of my own glasswork and want to do some clean pinlines and general artwork. I've used Posca Pens but they don't last that long and I find the colors a bit weak for classic boards. In the past I have had resin pinlines put on my classic longboards by old friends that did them in the 70's now days it's not easy getting a hold of any of the old timers. I was thinking to do some resin pinlines myself however with my time limitations I only have time to shape and let the glassers finish my boards in house most of the time. Pinlining my boards will be easier to do and I think with the Marsh Pens I will be able to pull it off without breaking out my paint guns (use to airbrush). Sending boards out for pinlines slows down turn around time on orders and I find it a bit lame. I have seen some pros use the Marsh pins at the different factories but never considered getting some until now. Actually I didn't know what they were call until you exposed it.
Thanks for the hot tip!
Surfding
Thank you Herb, this is a beautiful thing.....
HowzitHerb, Do they have a website to order them from since I am sure they don't sell them on Kauai, then agajn I can google them. Aloha,Kokua
