Engineers marking dye – where from?

[Bender Unit]

I am searching high and low for some engineers marking dye. Can anyone tell me where to get it from? It needs to be in aerosol form. I can’t seem to find it anywhere!

I've never heard of an aerosol dye! if your still stuck let me know and i'll dig out what you want from work.

We got same stuff that was in that link and some thats more of a paste.
but we got plenty of suppliers that I can ask!

you can get it in an aerosol but its awful stuff.

much easier in the paint on variety.

Hi guys and thanks for the replies!

The main reason I want an aerosol is becasue I was going to be a bit lazy.

I was intending to port match the inlet and exhaust manifolds to the head as they have smaller ports then the ports on the head. I Have the head stripped so I was going to use a plastic pipe extension (the ones you get with wd40 / carb cleaner) ram it down the port (on the valve side) and blast it at the edges of the inlet /exhaust manifold that protrude into the ports on the head. (the head/manifolds would be bolted together at this point and the runners on the inlet manifold would be blocked up

I was thinking that the dye would effectivley give me a nice outline of where the inlet / exhaust manifold if smaller than the head ports and I could then subsequently grind the rest away so the manifolds match the head.

Then just clean it all up with thinners when done?

Does that sound daft?

RS is a good bet and I didnt think of that, however do they sell to the public?
