I am using the UV dye from becooling, see the pic

It says only a few drop will be enough, but how much is a few drop? Will it be bad if I put too much?
 
I dip a straw into the bottle and get about an inch worth in the straw, holding my finger over the other end I transfer it to my loop. I do this with pump circulating and UV lights on. When you add it, you can see it kinda pulse thru the system and the glow get brighter. I do this a few times until its doesn't make it glow brighter. Its possible that I'm using too much and it effects the cooling properties, but I don't know. I havent done any testing of this.

peace.

If you use too much, and i mean WAY too much it will be too dense and wont glow as well. Do what UnLoadeD said to do. A medicine dropper might be safer than a straw, if this drips on anything porous, it will stain it badly.

Yeah, I knew that already... my fingers and nails are blue now :mad:

I will use the method adding the dye slowly. I will have to wait until nightfall again. I use syringe to add the dye. (marinate meatloaf type syringe)
