Aldi sell purple food dye in the cooking department bit I tried it once

Think I read somewhere about the dye coming through the skim. Could be wrong.

Just use unifinish.

Chalk that you use for your chalk line
Red,blue,green...the choice is yours

@Fatarm has it right. Alternatively, get a test pot thingy of a coloured emulsion ( not white, t**t).......bung it in a gallon of pva, shake well and off you go.....I've used a light green before and none bled through the skim, I did let the pva dry overnight though.

I have never had the issue of missing areas with PVA.... you cam always see where it has been anyway

Grit it instead better key for skimming on a reskim I know a couple of decent spreads had to go back to jobs as a steamer lifted their work off after y months or so I've gritted for over 2 years touch wood no come backs as yet

Buy some of this here to colour the Pva or just add a drop of dark red emulsion from a paint tester
