Marking Pressure Treated Lumber?
 

Pencil sometimes works, sometimes not so much. Maybe it's the wetness
of the lumber; I dunno. Laying down tape first is too much bother.
Permanent marker is a little too conspicuous, and often a little fat.
I'm considering scoring the wood with a razor to serve as a marker.

Any tips for easily making marks on wet, pressure-treated lumber?

I'm no expert but dull nail would probably work better than razor and
be easier to see.

Chalk pencils or charcoal pencils. Either one can be bought at a craft
store.
