Description
Overview:
French Chalk Sticks for Marking Out Work are solid, white talc/soapstone sticks designed for clean, temporary layout lines on a wide range of materials. Each rectangular stick measures 100 x 10 x 10 mm (approximately 3.94 x 0.39 x 0.39 inches), giving good control for accurate marking. The non-staining composition leaves clear, high-contrast lines that resist light smudging yet wipe off easily with a dry cloth. Suitable for metal fabrication, welding prep, carpentry, and general workshop use, they help set out cut lines, drill points, and weld seams with confidence. The square profile offers a stable grip and can be shaped to a fine or chisel edge with a knife or abrasive for precise work. Sold individually, so you can buy exactly what you need without excess.
