User questions & answers

Question: Can i use this to make my own gesso for preping a canvas for painting
Answer: I think this chalk is closer to a 1 or 2 on Irwin's permanence scale. If you are looking for a 4, get the black; 3, red.
Question: What situations would warrant florescent colors? I'm looking at the pink but I'm not sure how visible it is. Looking for medium permanence
Answer: Yes they make them in black, red and blue. The case color indicates the chart color. Definitely the best chalk line I’ve ever owned I love the fine line
Question: Can the contents of this be completely dumped out? I am looking to fill a balloon with chalk
Answer: Blue washes out. Red stains
Question: if i use this to snap a line on my wall/ceiling, can i use a wet rag to wipe away the line when done? does it stain or leave a yellowish color behind
Answer: If you just are a framer and it’s not that critical where things are placed. I’m a commercial Glazer our doors have to be perfect it’s definitely worth the extra price to have a quality chalk and fine line.

User questions & answers

Question: Where’s fill line
Answer: You can try the following ways: 1.Use a toothbrush and a little vinegar to slowly wipe the rust. Basically, the rust can be cleaned. 2.Carefully wipe the rust with wax. 3.First remove the rust with toothpaste. The toothpaste contains sulphur and friction agent, which can replace the oxygen in the rust component. Then apply a white candle on the rust. After about 3 to 5 minutes, wipe it off with paper. After removing the rust, be sure to treat the surface, apply a layer of lead, and then paint; or plate other metals that are not easily rusted.
Question: Is the box empty of chalk when purchased
Answer: Not. The soil tester can only be used to test the light, humidity and pH value of the soil. If you want to test the pH value of the liquid, you can use the PH meter, such as this one in our shop: https://www.amazon.com/dp/ B08RMXX8WJ can be used to test water.
Question: where is this made
Answer: It's better to remove the soil moisture sensor after testing, Don't leave it in the soil for a long time, that will ruin it.
Question: Does this come with chalk in it? Or should I order some with it
Answer: Since soil most often is in/close to neutral state (with pH value of 7), it is highly likely that you find the needle in display window stay still (because the default pH value is set at somewhere between 7 and 8) when you use it to test the pH value of soil. Sometimes are misled by this appearance and hence regard the tester as a defective unit by mistake.
