Precision layout fluid for metalwork

Dykem 80396 Steel Red layout fluid provides a transparent red coating that dries within minutes on metal surfaces. The deep colour prevents glare and reduces eye strain during scribing operations. Machinists, toolmakers and pattern makers use it to create high-contrast reference lines for accurate cutting and measuring.

Brush-cap bottle enables direct application

The 4 fl oz container includes an integrated brush cap that lets workers apply fluid straight from the bottle without separate tools. This design reduces spillage and keeps the work area clean during layout tasks. The liquid formula flows evenly across steel and other metals for consistent coverage.

Flash point 53 degrees F limits heat exposure

With a flash point of 53 degrees F, the fluid is highly flammable and must be kept away from ignition sources. Users working near welding, grinding or other hot processes should apply the fluid only after surfaces have cooled. This safety constraint determines whether the product suits a given shop environment.

Questions about this item

How often will the 4 oz brush-cap bottle need replacing during daily tool-and-die marking?

The 4 oz container lasts through many layout sessions; replace when the red fluid runs low or the brush cap dries out.

What temperature limit appears first if the fluid sits near a hot workpiece?

The flash point is 53 °F, so vapours can ignite well below typical shop temperatures — keep the bottle away from heat sources.

Will the strong odour or fumes build up during an all-day marking job?

The fluid dries within minutes and is transparent, but the Prop 65 warning notes reproductive-harm chemicals; use local ventilation for continuous indoor use.
