Default RE: Magnetic Building board sheet gauge

I'm thinking about going with a door sheeted with metal and painted white. I was thinking about instead of having it graduated with lines just leaving it blank and using those dry erase pens to make lines as needed. I saw they have fine line ones at the store the other day.


Tip; If you ever need to work over plans on the building board use some tracing film. This stuff is expensive $30 for a 20" by 10 yard roll but it works better than using wax paper or plastic wrap. You can slide the magnets around without ripping up the plans and unlike wax paper glue wont pass though it. I use wood glue and I know for sure that it doesn’t stick to the film but I don't know if CA or epoxy will stick to the film . The film last a long time it doesn’t get torn up it just gets dirty.
