Started marking my cuts with a white chalk line instead of a pencil on a big job in Tempe.
The lines were way easier to see on dark backing, especially under work lights. I saved maybe 15 minutes per room over three days just from fewer mistakes. Anyone else switch up their marking method for different carpets?

Yeah, chalk's a game changer on dark stuff. I had a roll of that blue painter's tape once and just tore little pieces for marks, which was weirdly fast but looked a mess.

That blue tape trick sounds messy but honestly kinda smart for speed. Chalk works great until it rains, then you're back to square one lol. I ended up using those bright orange survey flags on a big dark soil job last month. They were cheap and way easier to see from a distance than chalk lines. Still had to pull them all up after, but it beat re-marking everything twice.
