Dykem DYM80000 Itw Steel Blue Layout Fluid Aerosol 12 oz Liquid

The Dykem DYM80000 is ITW Dykem Steel Blue layout fluid in an aerosol, supplied in a 12 oz size, blue.

Layout fluid is one of the oldest tricks in a machine shop and it still has no better replacement. The problem it solves: scribing an accurate line onto bare steel produces a scratch that is nearly invisible against a bright metal surface, particularly under shop lighting and particularly to eyes that have been reading a drawing all morning. Layout fluid coats the work in an opaque film. The scribe cuts through it, exposing bright metal underneath, and the line appears as a brilliant thin streak against a dark background. It is instantly readable and it stays readable while the part is machined.

Steel Blue is the original and remains the standard colour. That is worth stating plainly — a machinist knows what a blued part means at a glance, and the colour has become shop shorthand rather than a preference.

The aerosol format lays down a thin, even coat quickly and reaches surfaces that a brush would struggle with. Coverage should be thin: a heavy coat takes longer to dry and can chip rather than cut cleanly under the scribe.

Applications include machining layout, fabrication marking, toolmaking, die and mould work, sheet metal layout, and inspection marking.

Users include machinists, toolmakers, fabricators, welders, and maintenance shops.

Consult the manufacturer's SDS before use.
