I use a paint pen, any that goes over the edges can be rubbed off. I then use clear varnish with a fine brush to seal it.

your better off with a large flat nib and paint over the surface - rub the excess off when its been on a few minutes. Use the flat edge of a knife wrapped in a tight cloth. This leaves the paint in the recess.

hope that make sense.
