Simple enhancement to jig markings

[Brian Holroyd]

This may have appeared before but for what it's worth, here is a simple enhancement I made to my jig to help with the difficulties of reading the scales.

Simply flood the indented figures with correction fluid, then when it is dry scrape off the surplus and give a light sanding.

I did something similar. I went to a craft store and bought a paint pen. Then just traced the scale marks. Very simple and affective.

I used to use the same technique with a crayon on my dice from the old Dungeons and Dragons sets of the 70's. Think I'll give it a shot with my K-Jig also. Thanks for the idea Brian.

It's funny though, how the simplest techniques never go out of style. :)

I just did the "scrape a white crayon across it" trick to make the lettering visible. No one ever uses the white crayons, anyway. Also good for marking tile when using a wet saw.

White Crayon also good for marking problems on tires so you can find them when you get to the shop just dont leave it on the dash of a tractor trailer!!! Big Mess!
