If you can, mark it, then score it on your cutter. A rubi cutter will score it miles better btw :sofahide:

 

[Mr T]

well martyn the straights are fine as I do score before putting the tile on the cutter its the curves as I cut several lines down the the actual cut and then nip the bits off its just keeping the curved line there to follow. cheers

Hb pencils or Chinagraph pencils

Mark your curved tile with your pen,then score your curve with your dry cutter then piano key your tile up to your score mark on a wet cutter.

wax pencils work a treat

Pencils work for me or a white chinagraph for dark or a red one very glossy tiles

Chinagraph pencil, best thing for the job if you're using a wet saw.

 

[Mr T]

sorted :smilewinkgrin:

 

[jond500]

Chinagraph pencils are great, I love my Sharpies but only using it on high gloss ceramic... guess they would not be a good idea on anything porous or markable.

BTW, I'm only a DIY'er.. listen to the pros

A lot of stonemasons use Tipex pens to mark wet cuts.

We used to use paint pens to mark sizes on our granite slab stock.

We do a propelling pencil version of a china marker, no fiddly paper to unravel of get soggy and the china lead can be retracted so it wont snap off in your tool box Trades Marker - Orange £2.47
