770088 - Hobart Flat Soapstone Refills - 7 Pack

Don't Lose Your Line When the Heat is On

Every welder knows the frustration of a layout line disappearing just as you strike an arc or light the torch. With Hobart Flat Soapstone Refills (770088), you get a reliable, heat-resistant marking solution designed specifically for the harsh environment of the welding shop. These aren't your average chalk sticks; they are cut from natural mined soapstone, providing a dense, durable marker that glides over rough metal surfaces and leaves a bright white line that stands out against dark steel, scale, and rust.

This 7-pack is all about value and keeping you stocked up for the long haul. Soapstone is brittle by nature, and drops happen in the shop. By buying the Hobart 7-pack, you ensure you always have a backup ready to go in your toolbox or pocket. The flat design, measuring 3/16" x 1/2", is a favorite among pipefitters and structural welders because it doesn't roll away. If you set it down on a beam or a welding table, it stays exactly where you put it. Furthermore, the flat shape allows you to grind or sand the edge to a fine point, giving you the ability to make hairline marks for precision fit-ups that round stones just can't match.

Using the right marker matters for the quality of your weld. Paint markers can boil and release fumes, and wax crayons can contaminate the weld puddle, leading to porosity or inclusions. Hobart soapstone is clean and inert. It marks easily but won't mess up your weld chemistry. It is perfect for oxy-acetylene cutting, MIG welding, and general fabrication layout. Whether you are marking cut lines on plate or layout points on tube, these refills fit standard flat holders to keep your hands clean and the stone from snapping.

Why Welders Choose Hobart Soapstone:

• High Visibility: Bright white marks are easy to see through a welding helmet lens.
• Stay-Put Shape: Flat design prevents the marker from rolling off your work piece.
• Heat Proof: The line stays true even when the metal gets red hot.
• Economical: The 7-pack ensures you get more marks for your money.
