Applied as a thin, fast-drying staining color, it creates a high-contrast background that makes scribed lines clearly visible to machinists, fabricators, and toolmakers. The 81778 comes in a 1-gallon bottle, making it a practical bench stock choice for machine shops and fabrication facilities that go through layout fluid at volume. At 7 pounds, the filled container is manageable for shop use and storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLayout fluids like the DYKEM 81778 are standard in metal fabrication, tool-and-die, and machine shop environments. Technicians apply the fluid to cleaned, degreased metal stock before layout work begins. Once dry, the dark blue coating accepts sharp scribe lines with high visibility, reducing marking errors during drilling, milling, or grinding operations. The 1-gallon format suits high-use production benches where smaller containers turn over quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDark blue formula provides high-contrast scribe visibility on bare metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-gallon bottle format reduces restocking frequency in high-use environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePackaged as a single bottle per unit, no multi-pack splitting required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFast-drying staining color bonds to cleaned metal surfaces for accurate layout work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose layout fluid for use on ferrous and non-ferrous bare metal surfaces in machining, fabrication, and toolmaking applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLayout fluid is applied by brush, dauber, or spray to a clean, degreased metal surface before scribing.
