Marking or Layout Blue

(1/2) > >>

Auskart:
How do most people apply Marking or Layout blue to the job they are working on?

awemawson:
I have a broad nib ( maybe half inch wide ) felt tipped pen sold for the purpose by J&L. It has the advantage of being re-fill able.

Manxmodder:
Dykem layout fluid is available in platic bottles with a brush attached to the lid.

I do also use the blue marker pens but the Dykem fluid is more resistant to being inadvertently rubbed of or scratched. The Dykem also gives you really good clear contrasting scribe marks.....OZ.

I use these:

Far cleaner and more convenient than layout fluid.

sparky961:
Aerosol spray works very well for a light, even coat.

I've used quick-drying flat black BBQ paint with much success as well.

...and of course the Sharpie for small areas, quick little  marks. Often theres no reason to coat the entire surface.
