    Default Agricultural Engineering!

    I went to our local engineering suppliers to see if the layout stain I ordered had arrived and this is what DyMark had supplied...



    As far as I can tell, it is actually the same stuff that I have got before nice thin blue colour, dries pretty fast.

    The only thing I'm missing is some chickens and haybales to do my parts layout on.

    Anyone know of a good supplier of spray-on layout stain..

    Regards
    Ray

    Same here but I had some old dymark spray and did a comparison.
    The old dymark is different stuff being a deeper ,darker dye.

    This new stuff is what they put on flyblown skin on and wounds on animals. I gave it to my friend who has a neddy.

    Marking out dye it isn't. It looks like the accountants are running the show at Dymark.No more purchases of their brand.

    This is the one I use ,still by Dymark , around 38.00 for a litre ,but I expect my grand kids will still be using it in 20.years time.

    I used the spray stuff a few years ago and found that it peeled off very easily and came off when hit with coolant.
