MKL80350EA - Markal 200 Series Wax Lumber Crayon - White

Reliable Layout Marking with Markal #200 Wax Crayon

For welders and metal fabricators, clear layout lines are the foundation of a precise cut or weld. The Markal #200 Lumber Crayon in White (MKL80350) offers a robust alternative to soapstone and liquid paint markers, particularly when dealing with rough or porous materials. While originally designed for the lumber industry, this wax-based crayon has found a permanent home in metalworking shops due to its permanence and visibility. Unlike soapstone, which can rub off easily during handling or transport, the wax formula of the #200 series adheres aggressively to the surface, ensuring your cut lines and identification marks remain intact until the job is done.

The white color of this crayon provides excellent contrast against dark carbon steel, rusted metal, and iron, making it easy to see in dim shop environments or under a welding helmet. It is also highly effective on concrete floors for layout planning and structural steel erection. The crayon's texture allows it to mark over rough, dirty, or slightly oily surfaces where other markers might skip or clog. Its weather-resistant properties mean that steel stored outdoors will retain its identification marks through rain and snow, preventing costly mix-ups in the yard.

Designed for the practical demands of the trades, the Markal #200 features a hexagonal shape that prevents it from rolling away when you set it down on a piece of channel or beam. It is tough enough to resist breaking under pressure but soft enough to leave a bold mark without excessive force. For welders who need a versatile, all-weather marker that works as hard as they do, the Markal #200 Lumber Crayon is a cost-effective and reliable addition to any tool bucket.
