|That sounds easy, but you left out all the important details.
|
|What type of pencil? Is a #2 the #1 pencil for the job?

Yes, unless it isn't.
|
|What about the washer? If it is a bath or kitchen will you need brass
|washers?

Yes

| Can you substitute a plated one?

Not unless you spray it with TopCoat first.


|If north of the equator does the washer have to rotate CW or can it go CCW?

It doesn't matter unless you're using a brass washer, then it's CCW.

|If one is preferred, what do you do on the wall on the opposite side of the
|room?

Scribe up instead of down.
