I use the white stuff to make a foredeck nav. slate.  Just cut out a
rectangle (or whatever shape suits your fancy), and peel-n-stick it on
the foredeck--mine's over my right knee...since I'm right-handed!

Would an acetone wipe cut the 303?

A tip I got from the sign guy I bought the vinyl from:  you can mark on
the vinyl with a Sharpie marker, and it won't come off at all under
normal use.  When you want to erase it, spray it with hairspray
(aerosol can--contains acetone) and wipe it right off.

For normal use, I use a Stabilo 'Aquarellable' waterproof pencil.  You
can find them at a local drafting supply store.  The mark doesn't wash
off easily, and it will write when wet--even on glass or smooth
plastic. China marking pencils work well--I've seen eyeliner pencils
used too, but they leave a bit too much residue for my taste.  On the
boat, that is ;)
