Available at napa or your favorite auto parts: Permatex, Non-drying Prussian Blue PN 80038. 3-4 bucks. Never thought I'd ever use it again, but supprisingly enough I have had occasion to use it a few times now.....

Thank you for all the responses. I am going to first try a quick dry black spray paint that I have. I should be able to see the pattern with that. Will have to clean off with lacquer thinner.

Thanks again, Mark
