Food dye in pva

[s.p.t plastering]

I just finished a reskim on a bedroom where I put a bit of red food dye in the pva to make it easier to put on over the artex and used what's left on Walls, done this before with no problem, now I plastered it all up fine. No problem there, the client had just phoned to say he's gave it 3 coats of paint and it keeps turning pink....WTF never heard of this, how would it seap through plaster and paint...

Any ideas? And what to tell him to stop it?

[Freerider]

Does that mean I should never try putting food colouring in me PVA for this simple reason? cant be doing with that ever happening!

 

[jonst64]

ive seen pva getting coloured for at least 25 years dont do it myself but ive seen good spredz do it just to let them selves know where they have and hav nt rolled,its not a bad idea really

 

[Nisus]

I've never done it but have read quite a few people on here have done it,
Don't think it's that weird an idea at least they can see where they are rolling etc.
But if it is bleeding through the paintwork maybe best use wba in future.

 

[Bagrat]

Oh no just had a phone call of a I****n!!! Helppppppppppppppppppp

 

[rockhardsolidplastering]
