Question 1

this is about 10 times the price of DeWalt or Irwin, is it worth that much?

Accepted Answer

If you just are a framer and it’s not that critical where things are placed. I’m a commercial Glazer our doors have to be perfect it’s definitely worth the extra price to have a quality chalk and fine line.

Question 2

if i use this to snap a line on my wall/ceiling, can i use a wet rag to wipe away the line when done? does it stain or leave a yellowish color behind?

Accepted Answer

DO NOT USE TAJIMA PERMANENT CHALK ON YOUR WALLS (won't come off or very hard to come off walls, hands, furniture, etc), UNLESS YOU ARE COVERING THEM WITH CABINETS OR SOMETHING ELSE WHERE THE LINE WILL NEVER BE SEEN.....Try small spot on your wall that may be behind a couch to see if a wet rag will wipe off chalk without leaving a yellowish color behind.  Remember Yellow chalk is easiest to clean, then Blue and last Red....Now, it depends on what type of paint your walls are? If your walls are Gloss or Semi-gloss there should not be a problem after wiping walls with wet rag nor should there be any yellowish residue left behind.  Gloss, Semi-gloss, Eggshell walls have a smooth finish and the purpose for this type of paint is to wipe and clean things off the walls.....Gloss being the easiest to wipe and clean......If you have Flat paint, you will more than likely will have a Yellow residue due to Flat paint is absorbent. I buy Tajima Chaulk boxes (Red Chalk Box is a thinner braided line and will snap a fine line.....Dark Blue Chalk box is thicker line and will snap a thicker line).  Only use Tajima chalk with Tajima Chalk boxes or they will cake up and get stuck with other chalk that is not as fine...... If you use other chalk box brands with Tajima chalk you will get a thicker line, since most of the chalk boxes at your store are a thicker line and do leave a mess.

Question 3

If this gets on clothing does it stain or does it wash out easily?

Accepted Answer

Blue washes out. Red stains

Question 4

Can I use this to keep ants out of my house?

Accepted Answer

Probably but that would be quite expensive. I would suggest diatomaceous earth for ants.
