Dykem 81713 Layout Fluid 1 Gallon Orange

Product Description

The DYKEM 81713 is a 1-gallon bottle of orange staining layout fluid used to coat metal surfaces before scribing or machining. Layout fluid dries to a thin, consistent film that contrasts sharply with scribed lines, making it easier to mark and follow cut lines during fabrication, metalworking, and machining operations. This product ships in a single bottle and is a standard supply item for machine shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance trades that work with metal stock, castings, or machined components. At 8 pounds per bottle, it is a full-volume container suited for high-use environments.

This staining color is applied to ferrous and non-ferrous metal surfaces prior to layout work. It is commonly used in industrial maintenance, toolmaking, sheet metal fabrication, and general metalworking shops. The orange color provides a high-visibility contrast against bare metal, making scribed layout lines easy to see under typical shop lighting. It is typically applied with a brush, dauber, or aerosol applicator and dries quickly to allow immediate scribing.

Compatibility

Designed for use on ferrous and non-ferrous metal surfaces as a layout and scribing aid in general metalworking, fabrication, and industrial maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Layout fluid is applied by metalworkers, machinists, and fabricators as a pre-machining surface preparation step — not an installed component. Apply a thin, even coat to the clean metal surface and allow it to dry before scribing. Keep container sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation. Follow the manufacturer safety data sheet for ventilation requirements and appropriate personal protective equipment when handling.
