Can get an iron on for around $10 if you want a neat job?

Slightly related to this topic, I have a my father's USAF clothing stamp from the 50s, whatd be a good stamp pad to use for this on my repro MA1?

Since ink can do strange things (like running, bleeding, etc), a friend of mine uses permanent marker to 'ink' his stamps, then applies it to the fabric.

Marker ink has often a strange shiny appearance, not as dull as it should be.

This is true. Sometimes it ends up with a slight purple hue as well.

Markers are rarely ever black, they're usually a very deep content of blue or dark OD green
