Instead I decided to go with a black permanent marker. I can easily build a lightweight circle-drawing jig. If it goes bad I can simply wipe off the ink with a solvent. I ran some trials and got some good data. | Instead I decided to go with a black permanent marker. I can easily build a lightweight circle-drawing jig.

I think my solution to this will be ensuring my varnish sandings are sufficiently gentle, and perhaps re-marking lines if they start to fade during the subsequent varnish layers. Overall I think this technique looks great and it's likely the one I'll be using on the final board. | I think my solution to this will be ensuring my varnish sandings are sufficiently gentle, and perhaps re-marking lines if they start to fade during the subsequent varnish layers.
