I wanted to burn a line into the knob. Does anyone know what I did with my burnishing wires? Can't find them. So I got out a purple Sharpie.

(The pen didn't get hot enough. I actually had to take a torch to it to heat it up enough to make a mark. Or, a moron, if you please.)
Thank you. And, I apologize.
