Dry Erase Markers

Here’s a tip from a professional aircraft painter, who notes that dry-erase markers are an easy way to make markings for paint lines, graphics, and lettering that will not bleed through the paint like regular felt-tipped markers do. This works best on a sealed surface rather than on unpainted balsa or ply. Mark the location, add the masking tape, remove the guidelines with a damp cloth, and spray on the paint.
