A chalk line is a tool to mark straight long lines on flat surfaces and widely used in the construction & carpentry industry. It is one of the important tools in the working of timber as it isn’t necessary to have a straight or squared edge formed beforehand.
A chalk line draws straight lines with the help of a string that has been coated with loose dye, basically chalk. The string is laid over & across the surface to be marked. Further, the string is plucked or snapped within a fraction of second, causing it to strike on the surface. Next, the chalk is used onto the surface along the straight line where it struck.
The objects to be marked aren’t needed to be regular or in a continuous line. They can be used across irregular surfaces and surfaces with holes in them. For instance, an unfinished concrete wall. However, the difficulties associated with its usage are string breakage due to the exceeded limit of tension on the line and infiltration of moisture and contamination that degrades the line.
