I used a chalk line to layout my nail lines on the deck boards, it has been several months and the chalk lines have not washed off. I recently scrubbed the deck and the lines are still there, Any ideas on getting them off? :confused:

Did you use blue or red chalk?

They said on DIY channel that the red chalk is permanent. I've never used anything but blue myself.

RED. Have never heard that red was permenant. Maybe they will fade after some time.

If they are that bad can you rent a pressure washer.
