Homebrew layout dye (Dykem substitute)

Interesting write up. Before I discovered KBC (thanks to this forum) I was actually having a lot of difficulty sourcing reasonably priced Dykem. I found a homemade recipe somewhere where they used 2/3 denatured alcohol, 1/3 shellac, and colored with powdered blue rit dye. Almost tried it out but bought some Dykem from KBC before desperation led me to make my own. I'm interested in your home brew cutting and tapping fluids. Are these posted somewhere?
