Dykem 80400 Blue Layout Fluid 8 Oz

Product Description

The DYKEM 80400 is a blue layout fluid used by machinists, toolmakers, and metalworkers to coat metal surfaces before scribing, marking, or layout work. Applied with the integrated brush top, the fluid dries quickly to a thin, uniform blue film that shows scribe lines clearly against bare metal. The 8-ounce can is a standard bench-supply size suited for both shop and field use. Professionals in metal fabrication, HVAC equipment manufacturing, and general mechanical trades use this product as part of their precision layout process.

The DYKEM 80400 is used on ferrous and non-ferrous metal surfaces prior to cutting, drilling, or machining operations. The brush top applicator allows controlled, even coverage on flat stock, bar stock, castings, and machined surfaces. It is a common consumable in machine shops, maintenance departments, and fabrication facilities where accurate scribe-line visibility is required before material removal.

Installation Notes

Applied by a machinist or toolmaker as part of the pre-machining layout process. Ensure the metal surface is clean, dry, and free of oil or scale before applying for proper adhesion. Allow the fluid to dry fully before scribing. Use in a well-ventilated area in accordance with the product safety data sheet.
