I have used it twice already. I can’t tell a difference on surface when sprayed. That stuff is a mess also.

Nope. Try to spray when grass is dry so you can see where it is and isn't wet and do a section at a time.

The dye you see in the commercial/industrial sprayers is for the management to know where the guys sprayed.
If it’s not blue, they didn’t spray it

I know the purpose. I can’t see the blue where I sprayed

It works, and you can always mix it stronger/darker. It’s better against a light back ground such as concrete, but you can still see it on the grass itself.
I’ve backed off on using it because it’s an absolute nightmare to handle. It’s like Never-Seize, it gets everywhere.

Yeah, it’s easy to see on the tank dikes.

My hands were blue for 2 weeks, got more on me than the grass

This. I use the dye when I spray thistle. I pour the blue dye in the same measuring cup with the chemical, I also rinse the measuring cup with water I’m adding to the spray container. Both of these tricks cut down on the mess.

You get one hose leak, spray tip malfunction, suction screen plug, or spill,,,, stuff goes a long way. I find it crystallized after sitting also, must flush equipment extensively afterward or you will have issues. Saw it used at plant, looked like good idea,, never again

Not sure what you guys are using and how you are getting it all over yourself. I always wear latex gloves when mixing up chemicals anyway.
I use marker called Lazer that is on Amazon and have been happy with it. 1 tablespoon per gallon.

Well if you can’t see it then you didn’t use enough. It’s not that hard

The blue dye works great. You just have to add enough of it to make it visible. I would have over-sprayed the Celcius if I had not used the dye. I went through an entire bottle without spilling it or staining my fingers. Some of you guys must have sausage fingers, or you're clumsy. Just saying.
