Default ca dye?

Is there a dye or tint you can add to CA? I'm trying to keep track of which wing joints I've glued on my latest kit but my vision must be going....would be nice to have better visual reference like a dye to see the glue bonds. Maybe I need to convince my wife to let met out of the basement

I can't think of anything to add directly to CA without knowing what chemical reaction will happen but why not just use a felt tip marker and mark a small dot at each joint you complete?

The great record-holder Maynard Hill adds dye to CA due to his failing eyesight so that he can more easily see the area where the adhesive is applied. The magazine article did not specify the type of dye. Why not contact the maker of the adhesive?
