Texta first with decent gaps
Texta first with decent gaps between the letters and numbers and then a soldering iron with the soldering part unscrewed and removed. Then paint in the melted gap.

I use an electric soldering iron. Get it nice and hot and use it like a pencil to write your info on the float. too easy...

Pot Marking
I use what looks like a short Gaff with no point heated up on a gas burner. The curved part makes any numeral with a radius, flip it 90 deg for any thing straight. Cuts the float like butter.

I have always given mine a few licks of fluro paint, and then gone over with the soldering iron also. Got a old cheapy iron I use, as not to ruin a good one thou
