Not sure of your exact requirements, but you can try :
J&L Industrial Supply
1-800-521-9520
Their catalog shows they have a showroom at 13230 Hempstead Hwy in Houston.
Closed on Sundays, but open on Sat.plus free coffee & donuts.
They carry a couple of products that may help. One is called DYKEM Layout
fluid, drys in a few minutes and allows you
to scribe lines for machining. The other is called DYKEM High Spot Blue,
non-drying for finding high spots on bearing and gears.
Not connected with J&L just a happy customer.
