Dykem 81727 Staining Color 1 Gallon Bottle

Product Description

The DYKEM 81727 is a white staining color layout fluid supplied in a 1-gallon bottle. Layout fluids are applied to metal surfaces to create a high-contrast coating that holds scribed lines during machining, layout, and inspection work. Once applied and dried, the white coating allows machinists and fabricators to mark precise cut lines, hole centers, and reference points with a scribe or layout tool. The fluid is commonly used in job shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance environments where accurate metal marking is required before machining or cutting operations begin.

This 1-gallon container is suited for shop environments with high-volume layout work or facilities that need to stock a consistent supply for ongoing production. The white color provides strong visual contrast on bare metal, finished steel, aluminum, and similar machined surfaces. It is used by machinists, tool and die makers, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians performing layout work prior to drilling, milling, or cutting.

Installation Notes

Apply DYKEM staining color to clean, dry metal surfaces using a brush, dauber, or by dipping. Allow the coating to fully dry before scribing layout lines. Store the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent thickening. Follow applicable shop safety and ventilation practices when working with liquid marking compounds.
