What on earth are you writing with?

For pencil, spit and and a corner of your handkerchief should work fine.

If you have moved on a notch, and are just making a single cross, but with a marker pen (much better), then spit works just fine.

Ah! You are using the indellible kind!

A bottle of meths from the hardware shop is invaluable for this and your laminated charts. Just don't drink it. Although mostly ethanol, they put some methanol in it to make it poisonous, and then warn you it is poisonous by colouring it blue and putting pyridine in it to make it taste foul. Such is the way of protecting the taxation on alcoholic beverages, and sending down and outs blind!

Just a normal HB pencil.

What would be best?

Overhead fine tip nonperm pen.

Affirm!

An overhead projector type fine non permanent marker pen is just the ticket!

A bit of spit and the end of your finger does the cleaning. Every now and again you can do a big clean up with spit and your handkerchief!! No-one will know if it all looks a bit manky in between times!

I use the perminent OHP pens I use on my charts, comes of just fine with a bit of gebb and finger action, meths in an eye drop sytle bottle or a rotering film rubber. I don't like the non-permients, as its two sets of pen to mix up and the mark comes of to easly. I never use pencil, it never trully come off and just gets dirty.
