I used an orange chinagraph pencil, need to make sure the granite is absolutely dry though to get it to mark. |

Or white Chinagraph pencil - wax based so doesn't wash off. Cleans off after with a dab of whitespirit.

I used masking tape on dry granite. 
If it gets wet it dont stick too well so keep it dry. |
