Anybody build Dan Gelbart angled laser centre finder?
Arbalist:
I've got a bottle of Layout Fluid somewhere as backup but haven't used it yet.
These are far cleaner and quicker unless you're marking out large sheets Pekka.

Total agreement on layout blue switch to markers for small stuff. I went through two metal bottles of Dykem before switching over. The last one wouldn't seal at the cap, it leaked solvent into the shop drawer -- always smelled when you opened it, and the blue actually crawled out of the cap threads.
Markers are much cleaner and easier (for small areas). I would imagine black might be even better than traditional blue for use with a laser dot.
awemawson:
I bought a re-fillable marker specifically intended for layout fluid - big broad felt tip, push on cap and the tip assembly screws out of the body for re-filling. JLA if I remember correctly.
Steamer5:
Hi Pekka,
Happy to help, sorry about the confusion on the lay out blue, different countries different words! Arbalist put you on the right path, I used to use a vivid permanent marker, then found one simallar to Arbalist's much better as it covers a bigger area in one pass, I find the vivid good to use in the lathe if doing a ruff mark up as to we're you want to approximatley end up
Sid sorted the o ring out, cheers Sid, you might have to go hunting but hopefully you can find some off the roll
Cheers Kerrin

Thanks guys
I'm off to try some permanent marker pens.
I did a little internet search on layout blues and hobby solutions and got even a little more confused than I were before. I have some acrylic and oil colors, as well some blue pigment powder, I may try something later.
I did think of o-ring as a one continuous ring, I'm more used to them like that. I know that there is this material on reel, maybe I can buy somewhere a few metres or so.
Now I'm torn between just mounting a new switch and to make a battery holder or completely different design altogether.
Pekka
