Product Information
Full details
The NETTEX Agri Marksman Wax Sticks are designed for farmers and livestock managers who require a reliable, economical, and high-visibility solution for temporary animal identification. This product offers a convenient twist-up delivery system that minimizes waste and keeps hands clean during use. While ideal for short-term tracking and health monitoring, users should note that the markings are temporary and will naturally fade over time depending on weather conditions and animal behavior.

FAQs
Is the ink safe for livestock?
Yes, NETTEX wax sticks are specifically formulated for use on livestock and are designed to be safe for typical farm animals.
How long does the mark stay on?
The mark is temporary and intended for short-term identification. Durability depends on weather, coat length, and how much the animals rub against objects.
Can I use these on wet animals?
While it works best on dry coats, the wax is formulated to handle a range of farm conditions; however, for best results, apply to as dry an area as possible.
Are these sticks refillable?
No, these are single-use disposable applicators designed for maximum hygiene and convenience.
Will this mark wash out of wool?
As these are temporary marking tools, they are typically designed to be manageable in the context of fleece processing, but you should verify with your specific wool buyer if you have concerns regarding processing.
Troubleshooting
Wax is difficult to twist up
Ensure no debris is trapped in the base of the tube and store the stick at room temperature to avoid hardening.
Marking is not visible on long-haired animals
Part the hair or wool slightly to ensure the wax contacts the base of the fibers for better color saturation.
Wax tip has become too soft
Store the product in a cooler location for an hour to allow the wax to firm up before next use.
Pros and Cons

- Highly visible orange pigment for easy sorting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using, remove the protective cap and rotate the base of the applicator to expose a small amount of wax. Avoid extending too much of the stick at once to prevent breakage. When applying to the animal, use a firm but gentle motion to ensure the wax transfers to the coat. Store the sticks in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight; extreme heat may soften the wax and lead to deformation within the tube. Keep the cap on when not in use to maintain the wax's moisture and prevent debris from adhering to the tip.
