WHITE CHARCOAL PENCILS - Be Careful

[Alexam]

Can anyone help locate white charcoal pencils in the UK please?

Or if anyone has a surplus supply, would appreciate buying a couple from you? (Not white wax pencils - only charcoal)

Thanks

Try http://www.bovilles.co.uk

I'd be surprised if they didn't stock them.

Given that I know full well what charcoal is (and have watched it being made, and burnt it on a barbeque afterwards)
what is the stuff/thing you're calling "white charcoal" ?! :shock:

I must admit my first thought was that it was an early April fool joke, but it seems not.

Thanks guys,

I have now ordered the pencils, which will help in marking dark timber.

It appears they're actually refined chalk, despite the name.

I didn't have an issue with the concept, just the name seemed a bit of an anomaly..

This may be a better link as it actually explains how white charcoal is made and it is actually charcoal.

That's not what the pencils are made from though.

What about a nail white pencil, based on kaolin, £2.99 at Boots?

"Ingredients

KAOLIN, CETEARETH-25, CALCIUM STEARATE, CELLULOSE GUM, METHYLPARABEN, PROPYLPARABEN, SORBIC ACID, CI 77891."

I don't know if it would be any good or not.
