Understanding Blue Marking Fluid

I have known about (and even used) machinist blue marking fluid over the years. But until this Adam Savage video, I did not actually know what it was comprised of (blue lacquer) and what its specifically designed to do (reflect scribe markings better than black or other colors and to be the only thing that’s scratched through — not the work piece itself).
