    How are you applying the PNP to the Silver? I have found that you
    must be very careful to fully bond the PNP to the silver with a Hot
    iron. If not fully bonded, it will slip of fall away. You have to be
    certain to get all finger/other grease of the metal before applying
    as well or it will not bond sufficiently. If you need to touch up
    any parts that do not adhere then use a fresh, new sharpie permanent
    marker (Industrial ones are best) and go over the lines a couple of
    times allowing 10 - 20 seconds between applications. You can also
    use nail polish, shellac or tar diluted with naptha (use caution as
    this last on is toxic).
