I have a ukulele that has no side position markers.
I've had bits of tape stuck there for the past several
months, but I'd like to install some permanent ones.
I'm thinking I could drill a shallow hole in the edge
of the fingerboard and fill it with white paint (or some
resin-like material?) or a chip of white plastic or
actual guitar inlay material.

Stew-mac sells that stuff in a couple diameters, IIRC.
Or use brass rod. Or rhinestones - great in low-light
situations. A little tacky in daylight, though :-P

I used to do it with a soldering iron... Don't laugh.. One of the
guitars still looks great 20 years later...
