I have good success with 79000Series NAZDAR Corogloss Screen Ink. There is never any problem with static in screen printing. And though I never did, I am CERTAIN you can thin it down and hand letter with it as well.

If you scuff the surface of the flute lightly with a a polypad and a bit of Ajax you can letter directly onto it with enamels.
Viponds make an undercoat especially for corflute so you can roll or spray an enamel background colour that will not lift when applying vinyl lettering ... see your friendly Oxlades Rep
I also use Easy Prep and/or Penetrol made by the Flood Company both of which help enamels bond to any smooth surface.
Screen inks thinner with Laquor thinners works too but scratches easily.
What's with the corflute anyway? Can't our City Council afford metal any more? hahahahhaa

If you wind up using screen ink, use acrylic retarder in preference to straight thinners, it gives you a little more time to work it. You might wanna re-think using your favourite brush too, can prematurely turn a good brush into a stirring stick. David
