A straight edge is useful for keeping text horizonal and for drawing a straight line here or there. I like to keep it simple, to minimize mistakes. The paint marker can be a little messy to work with.

A white fine tip paint marker works for naming the inputs and outputs and knob functions. If I make a mistake, there's enough time before drying to wipe away the paint with lighter fluid, and try again.

The Neutrik switch jacks that I had originally used on this build are dysfunctional. I have decided to replace them with an alternative switching jack.
