what do you use for inleting marking ? i just can`t find anything that works good .

If you are looking for something to use for spotting in, I find prussian blue works well. Soot from an oil lamp also works well, but takes longer to coat the parts and, with my luck, I would likely end up burning my shop down.

I’ve only ever used Jerrow’s Inletting Black for spotting in. It was cheap, effective and readily available from Brownells. Unfortunately Brownells no longer carrys it but it is available from other businesses.

I use anti-seize lubricant.
A trick mentioned on here years ago… forgot by who but thank you whoever you were.
Can easily be found at your local can-tire, the silver compound can't be mistaken for anything else on wood and cleans up easily enough.
As a bonus it also works great on nuts and bolts for my pickup… who would have thought.

I use a camp stove fuel can with a screw top - dumped out all the glycol and replaced with kerosene and a cotton camp stove wick. works better than anything I have ever tried. and cheap as hell.

Lipstick can be used as well.

Bright red lipstick or lamp oil mixed with a bit of olive oil with a denim wick, in an old 3 in 1 tin.
