OVERVIEW

High-Visibility Layout for Precision Fabrication

The Markal Silver-Streak® Welder's Pencil (SKU: 96004) is a specialized marking tool designed to address the common visibility challenges faced during thermal cutting and welding processes. Unlike traditional soapstone, which often creates faint lines that can be obscured by the glare of a torch or arc, the Silver-Streak® utilizes a unique reflective lead formulation. This lead illuminates when exposed to the intense light of cutting torches or welding arcs, allowing the operator to maintain precise tracking of the layout line through protective filter plates.

Engineered for industrial resilience, the marks produced by this pencil are highly resistant to heat and will not burn off or blow away, even under high-pressure oxy-fuel cutting. The pencil form factor allows for sharpening to a fine point, facilitating intricate layout work that requires tighter tolerances than what is typically achievable with standard flat markers. It is compatible with all metal surfaces, including carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, and performs reliably even on oily or wet substrates.

This product is an essential consumable for metal fabrication shops, structural steel manufacturing, and maintenance operations where accuracy and mark retention are critical to quality control.

FAQ

No, the Silver-Streak® marks are flame-resistant and will not burn off or blow away under the pressure of a cutting torch.

Silver-Streak® marks are more durable, resist rubbing off, and are reflective, making them much more visible through a welding helmet than soapstone.

Yes, the Markal 96004 is a standard wood-cased pencil and fits into any standard pencil sharpener.

Yes, the Silver-Streak® is formulated to mark effectively on oily, wet, or rusty metal surfaces.

It is safe for use on all metals, including stainless steel, carbon steel, and aluminum.

The mark is durable and long-lasting but is not permanent paint; it is designed for layout and will stay during the work process.

The core is designed to be strong for industrial use, though like any pencil, it should be treated with reasonable care.
