 Dean:

I've been doing that for years! What a good idea (he said self-reflexively). :-)

If you do not wish to mark the plate you
can use golf tees while stringing to keep you on track. Label a set of white
tees from 12 to 22 including half sizes. Then drop them in the appropriate
holes where the scale changes.

>What are the rest of you using for string scale markings?

I personally do not demarcate the wire
gages because it detracts from the









appearance of the plate. Most techs carry
a micrometer anyway, or should.









But a fluid writing pen will also allow
you to free-hand numeric characters.









It's not just for the lettering.

The handle is a little narrow for my grasp so I split a length of
player tubing









and wrapped it around to beef it up.
