Setup, Compatibility & Care
Using this gauge requires no setup—simply press the pins against the surface of your object to take the profile. For best results, ensure the surface is clean before measuring to avoid pin resistance. Compatibility is universal across most building materials, provided the surface isn't so textured that it prevents the pins from sliding. To maintain the tool, occasionally wipe the pin track with a clean, dry cloth to remove dust. If the pins become sticky or stiff, a very light spray of silicone lubricant can be used, but avoid using heavy oils that might attract more dust or leave residue on your project materials.
