<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I just fitted a block last week and used the method taught by Christian Bolduc. I mixed a thick slurry of red carpenters chalk and water. I kept it as thick
as possible that could be brushed. I painted it on the plate pretty thick and let it completely dry before tapping the block in. It is a bit gloppy but that does not matter. The tapping will knock it down. I did have to reapply in some areas once just as I
was at the end of the process. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">The only downside is that I spent about half an hour cleaning the plate afterwards since the slurry drips down onto the top of the plate. It is easy to clean
off though.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black">Any thoughts about what coating is most effective (leaves the best mark and lasts the longest between applications) on the plate flange when fitting a pinblock.
I've used carpenters blue chalk and black carpenter's crayons and they're both a mess to use and have to be reapplied frequently. There has to be something that lasts longer and is easier to apply.
