If anyone here has painted webbing, I'd be interested to see how it turned out, and what you used.

Buy some gentian violet microscopy stain, hard to wash off anything, including the sink, so play with it somewhere marriage-safe! You'll look like one of those purple camo soldiers in the cadbury adverts, but you'll be visible for sure.

This link suggests the gentian violet stain is fixed by heat, e.g. a tumble drier, but I'd hesitate to risk staining the tumble drier. https://breastfeedingpositionsreview...or-purple.html
