Wrote off torque stripe grease pencils for years, then a guy at the Addison hangar showed me his logbook
I always figured the cheap torque stripe was just for show and that real mechanics re-check with a wrench. Then a lead at a shop in Addison, Texas pulled out a logbook showing 14 loose fasteners caught on pre-flight over two years, every one flagged by a stripe that had cracked. That is a lot of hardware I would have signed off on. Anyone else run the grease pencil on stuff besides wheel bolts, or is it just me who was late to this?

14 loose fasteners in two years got me rethinking the grease pencil thing.
