Default RE: Dye in the Resin?

VG,
Usually dye in the epoxy is just to help you see where the glue has reached. I use the technique while fuelproofing a tank bay, etc. Have fun with the bagging! I think it's the best thing since sliced bread for glassing and doing skinned hinges and wings. I haven't done a paint, glass, skin job yet but have done some fantastic glass, carbon, kevlar work so far. [8D]
Also, I may be using the wrong word. They sell bottle of this stuff they refer to as Pigment. That gives me the impression it would have a more opaque finish than just dye. They have around 5 or six colors. I got 3. I am sure there is some info that will come with the stuff, if not I will contact them and see how they recommend to use it.
