Dykem 80396 Red Layout Fluid 4 Oz

Product Description

The DYKEM 80396 is a red layout fluid supplied in a 4-ounce brush top can, designed for use in precision metalworking and machining applications. Layout fluid is applied directly to a metal workpiece surface, where it dries quickly to a thin, even film. Scribing lines are then cut through the dried coating, creating high-contrast marks that guide drilling, cutting, sawing, and layout work. The brush top applicator is integrated into the can lid, eliminating the need for a separate brush and allowing controlled, consistent application. This product is used by machinists, tool and die makers, fabricators, and maintenance technicians.

The DYKEM 80396 is suited for use in job shops, machine shops, fabrication facilities, and general industrial maintenance environments. It performs on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, and the red color provides strong visual contrast against bare steel, aluminum, and cast iron surfaces. The compact 4-ounce can size is appropriate for bench use or as part of a portable tool kit. Application is straightforward and requires no special equipment beyond the integrated brush top.

Installation Notes

Layout fluid is applied by machinists and fabricators as part of the workpiece preparation process before scribing or machining. Ensure the metal surface is clean and free of oils or debris before application for best adhesion and contrast. Allow the fluid to dry fully before scribing layout lines. Keep the can sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation.
