I like a sharpie. Silver or black depending on the surface color.

Yep. Learned that trick from a member here on TBN. Helped but still can't see them. Maybe my eyes are just junk. I wear reading glasses and use them when welding or cutting.

I have had excellent luck with the White Paint Pen, that Harbor Freight carries....

quick search on their site only shows yellow, but I have purchased both at the store.

I spray a very thin layer of high temp flat black paint then draw with a silver pencil and it shows up very well.

Where room allows use wooden templets.

Cutting the patterns in wood allows you to see what it will look like and allows more control.

I must have missed something here. You use wood as a guide for the plasma cutter??
