Superior Marking for Metal Fabrication

Their unique formula creates highly visible, torch-resistant red marks that stand up to heat and won't easily smudge or fade. Unlike soapstone, these pencils maintain their integrity on oily, wet, or rusty surfaces, providing reliable precision for welders and fabricators.

This pack of 12 ensures you have a dependable marking tool ready for any project, from ship building to bridge fabrication.

Who Should Use These Pencils & Who Should Consider Alternatives

These pencils are ideal for professional welders, fabricators, shipbuilders, and anyone working with steel, iron, or aluminum who needs durable, torch-resistant marks. They are particularly useful in industrial settings where surfaces may be less than ideal. However, if you require marks for delicate art projects or non-metal surfaces, standard graphite pencils or specialized markers might be more suitable. For general office writing, these are not designed.

How to use

Ensure the metal surface is ready for marking. While these pencils work on oily or wet surfaces, a reasonably clean area will yield the best results for visibility. — Prepare the Surface
Use the pre-sharpened pencil to draw your layout lines, cut marks, or identification points directly onto the metal. The red color provides high contrast, especially on aluminum. — Mark Your Layout
When the tip becomes dull, simply resharpen the pencil using any standard pencil sharpener. This ensures a consistent, fine point for accurate marking throughout your fabrication process. — Resharpen as Needed
