Carmel Industries sells Livestock Paint Crayons designed to apply clear lines of fresh paint without mess. Each crayon is wrapped in a paper or cardboard sleeve (depending on size) that keeps fingers clean while marking on smooth and textured surfaces.
The company got its start in 1974 as a manufacturer of tailor chalk for the garment industry. Carmel has since expanded to a 33,000-square-foot facility in Montreal that specializes in writing instruments and industrial waxes.
These Livestock Paint Crayons are ideal for making bold marks on wet or dry livestock and also work on metal, wood, particle board, concrete, stone, plastic/ PVC, rubber, glass, canvas, and terracotta. While it’s possible to use them on oily, wet, dirty, and rusty surfaces, the color might not be as rich. When using it for the first time, apply light pressure to break the crayon’s skin and ensure a smooth transfer of pigment.
Two sizes are available. The Jumbo Livestock Crayon (5 in. by 1 in.) is rated to last 20 percent longer than the standard 4-in. by 1-in. crayon. Choose between two formulas: hard for hotter climates and medium for cooler. It’s possible to purchase one of twelve colors or choose a variety pack. The crayons retail for $12.56 per four-pack or $18.80 per pack of twelve.
To further minimize the mess, Carmel also sells Retractable Livestock Paint Crayons. They offer additional weatherproofing with a deep cap that attaches to the back to ensure you won’t lose it out in the field. Twist the cap within this base to expose more of the crayon without exposing it to the elements and risking it getting dirty. A box of twelve retails for $40.50.
Customer reviews confirm these crayons work as promised, though it takes more pressure than expected to break their skin when you use them for the first time. Most raved about the bright, long-lasting colors and easy transfer onto livestock and other surfaces. In short, they offer an excellent alternative to spray paint for a variety of uses.
