Looking for an Alodine "Pencil"




I am looking for an Alodine application pencil. It is constructed of a hollow tube of plastic with a absorbant sponge in the tip. It is used for small area surface prep/corrosion control after defect repair in a production line. If anyone has any information on this application tool, where to find one, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

The only "application pencil" like this that I've ever actually seen being used was simply a magic marker that people used to disguise rack marks and other defects. But if there is one that contains approved chromate conversion coating solutions, that's good news indeed!

Try Dali, they are a distributor of a Alodine touch up pen. I am a buyer and we have purchased these pens. They work very well. Ask for "Touch-N-Prep"

Here is information for a fillable pen, with large felt tip. Also you would need the touchup Alodine solution to fill it.
