Hi all,
I drilled a hole 18" from the end an old strip of vinyl siding and use a can of line marking paint to spray through the hole. It makes a nice small dot, and the brightly colored line marking paint is very easy to see. The trunk obviously goes pretty fast, but it is suprisingly efficient for marking limbs and branches as well. I just mark as many as I can reach, cut them all and them mark another section. It is much faster than using the saw bar (which I used to do) and is very accurate.
I bought a couple of cans of marking paint for $3 a piece in the bargain bin at the local hardware store and the scrap of siding was free. At the end of the day, I scrape off the glob of paint that accumulates around the hole.
