Red Dykem Layout Liquid?

I went to get some ****m today, I'm attempting at making some brackets. Is there a difference between the Red ****m (that I purchased) and the blue (that I've seen used before)? The machine place only had the red, but it has a bottle brush and everything like I've seen with the blue. Thanks

 

It's a different color. Some guys can see one or the other better. Other than that I don't think there's anything different.

 

Same ****!! Open the bottle stick your nose in get a big wiff and design some cool-****>>>>.

 

Mix the red and blue and you get a cool purple ****m. I've dipped dash bulbs in it, after breathing the fumes.

 

I had a dude that worked for me that used to walk around with bottle wiffin on it constantly. After about 9-0clock I couldn't get him to do ****!!>>>>.

 

Blue is great for cold rolled steel and aluminum because of the color contrast. If you are using hot rolled steel, red makes the line easier to see.

All the same, just different colors. My buddies and I use different colors on the heads of our ammo when we go shooting. When we're done, we sort the br*** by color and everyone gets their br*** back for reloading.

 

They are the same, but the red has a longer shelf life.

Thank you very much to everyone who replied. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't getting into something that was going to cause a problem.

 

I used some blue ****m once when I was an apprentice to tint my safety gl***es. I was working outside fabing something up and the Safety Nazi wouldnt let me use sungl***es.

 

No difference and they even have opaque white. The Rod

 

I quit buying ****m years ago, use a magic marker.

 

I have never bought it. I get it "free" at work.

 

the red gives a better high

 

I did OD grinding for a bit and we always used red ****m on the bad dianmeters and the blue on the good. And to this day I still use it the same .... bad parts have the bad area marked in red so I can set up on the good diameters.

 

Die makers use blue. Mold Makers use red.

 

Blue Magic Marker works great on aluminum.

Black Magic Marker on steel.

For bigger jobs, ****m blue in a spray can.

 

I'm sold!

I've only ever used a sharpie to lay things out. The ****m with a scribe is awesome. All my brackets are identical (so far) because I wasn't trying to match tolerances to a 1/8" black marker line.

 

So glad all the high tech advice helped out>>>>.
