I'm afraid I don't believe in pencil marks since they move with the cane and don't stay with the staple. If you wrap to the mark and the cane does not seal, you want to be able to shift the cane down a fraction of a millimeter and then wrap again, without worrying which mark is correct, or if the thickness of the mark matters, or if the cane has shifted or not ...

Instead, I have a foolproof method. I use a vernier caliper, like this:
http://www.upscale.utoronto.ca/PVB/Harrison/Vernier/Images/Caliper.jpg

I drop the probe (far right in the photo) through the staple onto a hard surface and tighten the knurled screw to lock the caliper in this position. I do this for every reed I wrap.

I can pick it up and check I haven't gone beyond the end of the staple while I wrap the reed. Always correct! And I can shift the cane around as much as I need to get it to close perfectly.
