This hint is not original with me, but I can't remember its source, and
thought I would pass it on.

Marking pens called "paint markers" are very useful as resist pens. I have
two I bought from the local art supply store (Koenig Art Emporium). One is
a FaberCastell "uni-Paint Marker" ("oil-base, opaque"), the other is
a Uchida "DecoColor Opaque Paint Marker". Other companies may make similar
products. The markers have fiber tips that deliver thick, opaque ink that
dries in a few minutes. Less touch-up is required than with the usual
Radio Shack or "Sharpie" markers. The disadvantage is that the paint
markers I have have relatively wide tips, and aren't good for fine PC
work.
