🕯️ Wax Crayon Method for Engraved Measurements

  1. Clean and dry the measuring cup or spoon.
  2. Rub a wax crayon (white, black, or any bright color) directly over the engraved numbers.
  3. Press firmly so the wax fills the grooves.
  4. Wipe across the surface with a paper towel to remove excess wax.
  5. The color stays in the engraving, making the numbers stand out clearly.

🧩 Best Results

  • Use soft crayons — they melt slightly with friction and fill better.
  • Choose contrasting colors for visibility (white on dark metal, black on light).
  • Reapply every few weeks or after washing.

🕒 Durability

  • Lasts a few weeks to a couple of months.
  • Ideal for quick fixes or temporary marking before doing a more permanent paint‑pen fill.
