Great video 👍
Welders chalk = soapstone, comes round also, but there is something better " White out pin's" the white is titanium dioxide, it will stand up to the heat of a cutting torch or arc weld. high viz, I use it to have a line to follow when fluxcore welding ( you drag because of slag) blocks the joint you see because of the gun's tip.

Thank you, yes indeed, soapstone. Tailors use it as well. Although I’m in my 60’s “white out pens” meant nothing to me but now I know it’s what I call Tippex! Correction pens 😊. Strangely that’s exactly what I use normally but I couldn’t find it and the chalk was to hand. I was actually a tech at a welding college in my 20’s and the one thing we didn’t teach at all was flux core. It got explained as a process but we only actually taught gas, stick, mig and tig 🤷🏼. I guess there wasn’t enough call for it in industry here at the time. Thanks for watching and commenting 😊
