Standard Marking Chalk

We like white chalk because it’s non-permanent and wears off easily — this is especially helpful when marks are exposed and need to disappear.

MicroFoam Nitrile Coated Work Gloves

These gloves are comfortable and have a good grip, making for splinter-free work.
Buy at Amazon

N95 Respirator

PPE is a must, especially when cutting and sanding. We recommend you always have a box of respirator masks on the job site.
