China Marker Grease Pencil, Single

The china marker, also called a grease pencil, marks cut lines on glazed tile, glass, and polished stone where a regular pencil just wipes off. Its wax core writes on slick, non-porous surfaces and stays put until you wipe it away, so your cut lines survive the trip to the saw.

Use it to mark ceramic, porcelain, and mosaic before scoring or wet-cutting, then rub the mark off the finished piece with a dry rag. The self-sharpening design means no knife needed; just peel the wrap to expose more of the core as it wears down.

Tile setters keep one in the apron for every glossy surface. Tile Outlets stocks china markers so your marks show up where chalk and graphite fail.
