Mike,
It's easy to make your own if you can get hold of Gentian Violet. I'm lucky enough to have a mate who works in a laboratory. Here's my recipe:
125mL metho
4-6 teaspoons shellac flakes
1/2 teaspoon Gentian Violet powder
The Rocol stuff uses a blue food colouring in isopropyl alcohol and acetone (see the MSDS for the name of the colour). If you can't get GV maybe you can get the food colouring?

Maybe a cheap scate, but for small areas I just use a dark blue or black permanent marker (Texta) and wash it of with thinners.

I was going to run some experiments with blue food dye from the supermarkets: I have some evaporating in a dish that's almost dry.

Thanks for the info
I must read the previous thread on this topic, somebody mentioned where to get the Genetian Violet - I think it was on line somewhere . The shellac and metho formula sounds the way to go ...
I've been using Blue texta with reasonable results .
BTW the Prussian blue powder is still available
