   I've used them for a long time too. Still have one from working days   
   ~25 years ago. I shook it up maybe 5 years ago for something and was   
   surprise to find it still did the job😄️   
      
   Recently went to buy some "Wite-Out" to try for marking dark items.   
   White colored magic markers have always SUCKED at marking black or   
   other really dark colors... They have marker like tips on some of their   
   "bottles" now. I just bought a bottle with the little paint tip in the   
   screw top to have around next time it might work.   
      
   Here's one of the Wite-Out items. There was another version too...
