Hi. I use fine tipped cd marker pens most of the time. Think I used them from the time I started tile. I get them from pound shops or computer stores. They come in a pack with Red, Green, blue and black. I also bought some pencils from tile trader to try out, but think CD marker pens work good on wet cutters.

Actually, I just started using them as well, on glass, was worried it wouldn't come off but it does, very handy :thumbsup:

Black, red and white chinagraphs or soft lead cartridge pencil.

Don't you hate winter when condensation forms on cold tiles and your chinagraphs don't work?! :mad2:

Just bumping some threads in the tiling forum, don't worry if it isn't current discussion, just ignore the thread and it'll drop off the list quickly. If you do wish to reply to it, go ahead, that's fine too. Your input might be valuable and help a tiler out in the future.

If nothing will stick to the tile, put a small piece of blue painters tape where you want to make your mark. The tape gives you the surface needed to make your pencil mark and cleans up easy.

This is an old thread I started way back in the day.
some really old names here 😳.
I still use staedler pencils for setting out and general matt finish tiles but now use the Pica marker pencil for gloss etc tiles.
