Prussian blue is Also utilized to check for planarity of mechanical pieces.
You put a couple of mls of motor oil on the comparison plane (which u know is flat), then u take a piece of paper or fabric, dip said cloth in the pigment, spread the pigment and motor oil on the comparison plane, grab the Component that u need to check, put it flat against the plane and move it around just a bit to get the pigment to Stick onto the surface.
Where it's blue you know it's flat, where It isn't you know that u have a depression.

Or as another example, IT Can Also be utilized to check if you got the correct shimming for coupling crown and pinion of a gearbox (diff). (I've done so just a month Ago, old Fiat Stil runs, lol)

You'd have to eat several bushels of almonds and a little less than that in sweet aps.
