Bugbear, Mike (et. al.) 

We may all be talking about different stuff.  The stuff *I* was
referring to is Dykem Hi-Spot, which, according to their website:

"DYKEM=AE Hi-Spot is an intensely blue, soft, uniform paste that spreads
easily and evenly to show high spots on bearings. It's most valuable
when used on flat bearing surfaces of lathes, planers, milling
macines, etc. A thin coating may be left on the surface day in and day
out, and will not dry out. The film remains "wet" and "transferable",
and in condition for months. No night clean-up or morning rebluing is
necessary."

They /also/ make an alcohol based, fast-drying ink.
