PowerWeld FS1 144PC 5″ x 1/2″ x 3/16″ Flat Soapstones

PowerWeld FS1 flat soapstone provides clear, non-permanent marking for layout, fit-up, and weld symbols on steel and other common shop materials. Each natural cut, white #1 select stick measures 5″ x 1/2″ x 3/16″ and lays down a clean line that resists heat and wipes off easily after the job. Unlike common chalks, soapstone will not contaminate welds, so operators can mark right next to the joint without affecting bead quality or coatings later on. This bulk box of 144 pieces keeps benches, booths, and service trucks stocked for weeks of production work. The sticks fit standard rectangular holders (3/16″ x 1/2″ x 5″), giving users better grip, reduced breakage, and precise control for straightedge or template work.

For fabrication shops, maintenance teams, and schools, FS1 soapstone is a simple, low-cost way to improve layout accuracy and communication on parts. Lines stay visible through torch cutting and grinding, yet remove cleanly before paint or galvanizing. With consistent quality from stick to stick, crews spend less time re-marking and more time cutting and welding.

Teams in fabrication bays and field service gain immediate value from bulk flat soap stone. The FS1 sticks produce sharp, heat-resistant lines that stay visible during torch work, grinding, or tacking, so measurements and symbols remain clear throughout the task. Because soapstone is non-contaminating, operators can mark close to the seam without worrying about porosity or paint adhesion later. The standard 3/16″ x 1/2″ size fits common holders for better control along straightedges and templates, and the 144-piece box reduces restocking trips. From production runs to classroom projects, FS1 keeps layout consistent, reduces rework, and keeps work moving.
