Nail polish fix for your Scoreboard?

Sometimes your projects on the Stampin' Up Scoreboard have more than one step, especially if you're making boxes or more complicated cards where different scoring measurements are needed in different places. Painting some of the markers, especially with colored nail polish, is a quick and easy way to distinguish those important measurements to be easily identified again and again!

I love the markers on the SU Scoreboard, but do some of them fall out from their slot and the measurement is lost?  Apply some clear nail polish to the little post below the marker to give it a little thickness and stickiness so that it stays in better!
