Try a regular machine shop, not just ones that do auto stuff but ones that do production machining. Prussion Blue dye or 'bluing' is what you want.

Prussian blue and blue dye are two different things. I doubt if the dye will work very well.

You're Captain Gear Box Fucking God and you can't use prussian blue? Hmm, works fine for me. Or even white lithium in a pinch.

Too bad you're not Captain Coherent Sentence because none of that made any sense. Kinda like a cell phone with bad reception and you're only getting bits and pieces of what the person is saying. But yeah, the red cement dye stuff works really well, too.

> Find help..

Um, yeah...

White lithium worked just fine here... You could clearly see what you needed (ok, maybe not super clear as using the "right" stuff, but clear enough that you new what was going on)

Concrete dye...I learn something new everyday!

David,

Well captain gear box.........I work at a Caterpillar dealer and set up quite a few gear sets that cost more than most cars. I use what Cat recommends, prussian blue.

Pulling rank.......hummmm.......I'm 39 with 15 years Cat experience and am a certified field service anylist. I also have a degree in diesel and heavy equipment technology and have been an instructor at the local tech school. I feel well qualified to recommend prussian blue as an efective gear marking compound.
