I have 2 cans of cermark that are half empty, and I'm having a hard time spraying my peices for marking in the laser. I have been doing everything that I have read about. Now I would like to open the cans somehow and pour the contents into some type of container and brush it on. I have read on this forum about opening the cans using dike wire cutters but have no idea what dike wire cutters are. Can someone please explain....
Thanks and if there is a better way please let me know.
Thanks Cindy

"dikes" or "dykes" is a nickname for heavy duty wire cutters, like these:

"Dikes" are a shortening of the name 'diagonal wire cutter'. They are usually the heavy duty ones. (Maybe it should be spelled 'diakes'?)
"Flush" is the nickname of 'flush cutting diagonal wire cutters'.

I wondered what would happen in this thread.
Great restraint.
And funny also.
