Do a trial block and see what happens. It may work for you or you may hate it.

Bic makes a mechanical pencil that is so cheap, it wipes out very easy. I got a bunch and use them all the time.

I used a pencil before and had problems with not coming out. So for a little expense I bought the disappearing ink pens. You can buy blue which comes out with a spritz of water or the purple disappears within a few hours. Worth the money for me. Takes less time than trying to "erase" pencil.
