===Layout dyes=== [[File:DYKUM BLUE TUBE 001.jpg|thumb|100px|Dykum blue layout dye]] One common type of metal dye is machinist lay out paste, dykum blue, prussian blue, etc. Comes in a tube, is thick enough to be spread out with a piece of paper towel, etc. After it sets up for a few minutes, the scribing can be done. Another type comes as a liquid in an alchol base that can be sprayed or wiped on. When the alcohol evaporates, the dye is left behind for scribing. In a pinch a Sharpie/Magic Marker can be used.
