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? |

Either one can be bought at a craft store. |
