Abstract
A putty paint compound for marking on a substrate, and a method and system of manufacturing a putty paint compound for marking on a substrate, are provided. In embodiments, the putty paint compound has a putty-like consistency that provides a delivery system for dye. In embodiments, a dye is dispersed into an elastic, pliable compound that maintains a putty-like form. When the compound is applied to a substrate having an activator, the dye dispersed in the compound creates a marking on the substrate that corresponds to the shape of the compound contacting the substrate. In further embodiments, the shape of the putty paint compound may be manipulated to provide a desired marking on a substrate, which may be altered by repeated or varied applications of one or more putty paint compounds.
