Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 205235 is a water-based marking chalk in Red (APWA) designed for layout and marking work on concrete and other job-site surfaces. Packaged in a 17 fluid ounce container, it delivers 500 to 530 feet of coverage at 1-1/4 inches wide per fill. The water-based formula reduces cleanup time and is suitable for use with standard chalk line reels. This chalk is a common consumable for contractors, electricians, plumbers, concrete finishers, and other trade professionals who need clear, visible line markings during layout and installation work.

The 205235 is suited for marking on concrete surfaces in both residential and commercial job-site environments. It is commonly used wherever precise layout lines are required before cutting, drilling, fastening, or forming. The Red (APWA) color follows American Public Works Association color conventions, making it appropriate for utility marking and site layout applications that call for standardized color coding.
