you dont have any methylated spirits, or denatured alcohol, or isopropol alcohol?
if you could find ready mixed shellac, adding the pigment to that would work i reckon, https://madmodder.net/Smileys/default/laie_14.gif though it would be a bit thicker than ideal maybe..

Any idea of what the red pigment is in Dykem Red (or Yellow)?

In some of the older books I have they talk about using Dragons blood for pigments.

I've bled enough on some parts that I could have scribed lines in it.  But I'm hardly a dragon... except first thing in the morning before coffee.

Ok, So I put on my chemists hat and thanks to Wikipedia (overcomes Alzheimer's always) Prussian blue is actually Iron(II,III) hexacyanoferrate(II,III).

So any other prettily coloured cyanoferate or dichromate  complexes would do.

Will they be toxic? Don't know just don't eat!!

BTW: PB IS a very useful "antidote for certain kinds of heavy metal poisoning"

Dragon's blood, at least in Spain, is the sap of a type of palm tree.  We use it to dye shellac and putty to match the tones of certain tropical woods.
In my experience, virgins are currently harder to find than dragons.  YMMV  :lol:
