What pencils should I use to draw on the latex sheeting? You can use almost any kind! Just remember to remove everything after you cutted out the latex to avoid stains!
Example:
If I have to draw on black latex or any other dark colored Latex sheeting, I will use either a white or silver paintmarker or a regular ballpoint pen (which will of course make it more difficult for you to see it afterwards).
For light colors would I recommend to stay with the white or silver paintmarker or if you got good eyes to use a regular pencil (but please dont sharpen it to much).
White and transparent latex will stain very easily! Use the paintmarker or pencil and clean it immediately after cutting it out!

About the pens – I like to use the gel pens that you can get in a variety of colors. The gel makes it easy to draw on latex and you can wipe it off afterwards.

Note: Always make sure you’re using non-permanent markers and are not water resistent, which are much harder to abtain than the permanent ones.

Would tailor’s chalk be suitable for marking out? My Savile Row trained grandmother swore by it (often quite loudly) but I’ve not seen any reference to it on latex sites. Apologies if it’s a daft question, but would be very grateful if anyone could advise, not least cos I’ve got lots of it!
PS great site xx
