Erase Pencil Mark with Tape Measure

What happens here

To remove the stubborn carpenter's pencil mark, Tony demonstrates a clever and practical hack. He takes his standard tape measure and uses its rigid metal edge. By holding the tape measure firmly and pressing its edge against the deckboard, he then rubs it back and forth directly over the pencil mark. The friction generated by the metal edge against the surface, combined with the slight abrasive quality of the tape measure's material, effectively lifts and removes the graphite. He continues this rubbing action until the mark is completely gone, leaving the deckboard surface clean and pristine. The result is a deckboard that looks "good as new," showcasing a simple yet effective cleaning technique for unexpected marks during any cleaning project, including seasonal deep cleans.

Goal: Demonstrate and execute a quick method to effectively erase a carpenter's pencil mark from a deckboard surface using the edge of a tape measure.
