Will try later.Here's a little 'deep intel' for you on marker deployment Pete. And we have to tread reaaaal careful here, as this is serious inside baseball/heavy voodoo, the kinda thing that can get you ostracized from certain gentlemen's clubs for saying too loudly/around the uninitiated/the help.
For most uses of The Sharpie (subtle stuff like cracked spines, edge and cover creases, fill...) it is best to use the following technique: a quick dab of the sharpie onto the affected area, then VERY QUICKLY and GENTLY rub the ink in, maybe even using a thumb with a little moisture on the pad. This blends the ink and stops it from being a glaringly different hue and texture from the area it is applied to. Now, clearly Im only talking about black areas here, but even within that there are many nuances (sleeve texture/coating mostly). I will say though (voice drops to a barely discernable whisper....)
I've even carried out repairs on coloured sleeves/areas.
There are many many more things in Heaven and Vinyl Repair than are dreamt of in most Johnny Soundtrack Collector's philosophies.
