I agree with Ed. That's always a cleaning issue. I use acetone too, but even with that you may have to swap or fold the towel, cloth etc and go over it twice or more to get a good cleaning. In my experience, a shiny surface is not an impediment to Dykem (I use the aerosol) if it is really clean.
Shake the can once in a while. I had problems with the blue that was solved by shaking the can. I generally use red because it seems to me that red goes on evenly as opposed to blue.
I've had to add a little denatured alcohol to old layout die to thin it down a little bit so it will dry better.
Lately I've been having issues with dykem not drying consistent on aluminum and steel, I've tried smooth facemilled rough end mill and scuffed with Emory. Acetone cleaned and denat alcohol too...anyone else have these issues?

We bought staining fluid once by accident...it's like paint.
Guess I wasn't cleaning it enough.
Try a Blue Sharpie next time

OK. I'll bite. How d'yah make a BLUE sharpie lay on a RED dye?
I'd guess lies to pollsters, so may of 'em are wannabee "reds" in a different sense but - different flavour of circus animal acts, up in the great North Woods - so y'all don't even have Democrat and Republican parties anyway, do yah?
Yah.. and you are the better for it, PET French bread "True Dough" for a PM or not.
Guess you'd have to know your fizzy cola's?
I do that now, I have a couple blue magnums. As I said earlier my only problem is it rubs off easily, especially with cutting fluids. But I do often use it especially when I'm in a hurry.
You get a red sharpie
