Mark, I'll get you a manufacturer's part number. I don't know of any 3M
product for this, but have been using G-C "Red Glypt" or something like that
(have it at home, will look and get back to you) for about 30 years. It
goes on gooey and red, turns darker with age, I've never seen the weather
defeat it yet. -WB2WIK/6
