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.
  
Thanks

Hmm?? And not "monitoring this list" gets him free information w/o any
effort on his part?!!
Tell Richard to use Graphite. It's messier than hell, but effective. AND,
tell him to buy a computer, log on to the REAL "List" and use it!<G> Tell
him Joe Said So!<G>
That's my take on that,
Joe
