Most of the catalyst manufactures have catalyst already dyed . Funny used to be quite common in th 1970/80s but i haven seen it used since then .
As a budding laminator /gun operater come spray person i grew up with it and it was a excelent way to judge resin content and glass thickness while gunning . !!
Here in China i have some orded for our gun operator to use for a safe guard as the resin we are using has little to hardly no color change from with catalyst to no catalyst at all . So when using a gun its instant I D straight away .

I have a GS mfg, chopper and a wet out gun, and run it on that machine, I had some small putty needs and when I went looking for the bottle of dye I "have" I could not find it!, it will show up after I buy some , it always works out that way!

In USA you can get it from Syrgis Performance Initiators. They have 2 types (both red, but one of them is fading red, the other stays.
