There seems to be a degree(?) of variance between just touching and
just past the line for the bubble which seems to be beyond my ability
to discriminate.

Fall back is measuring up the wall from a flat surface.

A laser level might help (if I can get the level level, so to speak,
which comes back to the original problem).

What do the experts do?

What's the problem?

Long term inability (decades) to set an accurate level using a spirit
level. Unlikely that learning is going to change it at this stage of my
life.

So I'm looking at alternatives.

Not pressing for today because the wall I'm working with is already marked
up (fortunately) but it did remind me of failures in the past and tasks in
the future.
