Default Zap --Z A +

Working on a plane last night,and gluing my fingers to the wood ,I had a thought--Why don't they make Zap---or Zap -a -gap in colors? Being 60 something --I thought it sure would make it a lot easier to see how much glue was going on the wood ,and how much was going on my fingers ...I think if enough people voiced there comments --Pacer might give it a try ..Can't be all that hard to put a little food coloring in it --Well ,thats just my $.02 worth --thanks -----Joann

I'm not sure this will work but, you could try shooting a few drops of food coloring into a bottle of Zap. However, I don't know if it will do anything to the catalist action of the glue. You'll just have to experiment.

Probably won't work since CA needs just a small amount of moisture to work. Addding food coloring will probably kick it off at once, and you'll have a hardened bottle of ZAP.

But it will be easy to see!

Why not send a note to some of the CA makers out there. They like to hear from you folks from time to time.

Or you might try powdered dye. If you have a syringe you can put dye in it, suck up some CA, shake it, then re-inject it into the CA bottle. Shaking sould then mix it all. Probably won't work with thick though.
