Craftsman FYI #1 Wall Hanging Tip

Here is a little tip that may be helpful. While hanging some artwork on freshly painted walls I made small pencil marks all over the walls for reference. Needless to say, my wife was not pleased with my lay out lines. I assured her that I could erase them with no problem. She was skeptical to say the least. Erasing pencil marks on raw wood or most surfaces can be done with denatured alcohol. My wife was worried that it would change the sheen on the walls. I tried the alcohol in an inconspicuous place first with no ill effects. Just put a little on a clean paper towel and wipe the pencil marks off.


Remember this only works on pencil marks!
