> how about glow-in-the-dark heat shrink tubing?
I tried that, but it was not good for me. The heat-shrink tubing did not stay stuck to the Ti wire: it slid up the length and around the hook.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, given my experience with heat-shrink tubing (on something very unlike titanium tent stakes). It does tend to loosen up a bit after a while. Thanks for sharing your story, Roger...at least you've saved me some time and money.

Hi dk

For what it is worth: bright yellow or bright orange epoxy paint is the best I have found so far.

Cheers
