Tips on IE

Postby MrCat » Nov 28th, '14, 15:45



Hey there folks,

I was just on the phone to my favourite magic shop so far, and asking about loops and IE. I explained I had just purchased some IE from elsewhere and it was white but as I understood the best stuff was more the grey/brown of your typical IT, the dude said "Oh that's easy, just run a sharpie down it"!... Genius, I never would have thought of that. I may be a little presumptuous here as it's a method I've yet to try until my order arrives but thought I'd share it.

It may just be me being a bit slow but I never would have thought of that. Novice I am, but this is for others like me :D

I'm sure there is much to be debated about the different qualities and expence of such products but thought this may be a useful tip, I'll post an update when I get my stuff!

Actually, instead of just running a Sharpie down it, dot it with the Sharpie. The gives it an uneven look which is more difficult to see than a uniform colour.
