Frequently Asked Questions
What colors of chalk line chalk do you carry?
We carry chalk in standard blue, red, yellow, and white. Red and blue chalk are most common; red is permanent while blue is temporary. For lumber marking, we also carry specialized marking chalk and crayons.
Can chalk lines be used outdoors?
Yes, chalk lines work outdoors on flat surfaces. For long-lasting outdoor marks, use permanent red chalk or supplement with marking paint which resists rain and weather better than chalk alone.
What is the difference between chalk and marking paint?
Chalk lines create a temporary line by snapping a chalked string against a surface. Marking paint is a spray paint that provides more durable marks on ground, gravel, and rough surfaces used in surveying and construction layout.
