Marking Mandrels

[fionaess]

I could type this all out, but quite frankly can't be bothered
So, here's the link to the information on LE  http://www.lampworketc.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3237612&posted=1#post3237612

and here's the link to the UK company that sells the Prismacolor Indigo pencils  (PC-901-indigo) - and they only charge 85p for delivery as well...  now how's that for 'handholding'

It would appear that the marks stay on mandrels for both soft and boro glass

Thats ok Heather - Im such a pea brain that sometimes I forget where 'wraps' start so a mark might help me...

Blimey, that is good, I have been using a sakura jellyroll, can't think why.....but it burns out pretty quickly

Cool - me too!

    They're going to wonder why they are having a sudden flurry on Indigo Prismacolor pencils.....

I have marked my torch marver with a Sharpie so I can measure my mandrel up to it, rather than marking the mandrel!  Having said that I only have a couple of presses.
