For instance, I wasn’t very impressed with the size of typical hydraulic tools in a Rescue truck…anyway, the practice of the “boss” setting cut markings isn’t very old here either. I was wondering which kind of writing tool would be best: dedicated “fat” marker, wax crayons, glass stain writer or plain chalk. Here’s the result:
One thing is for certain, the surface needs to be dry. Otherwise, I’d go for the way crayons for simple convenience.
