I remember reading out there somewhere about an additive that will turn the color of resorcinol more brownish that its regular plum color. Anyone know of this?

There are two types of resorcinol, one is naturally brown and the other is purple.
The commonly used resorcinol additive is Tioxide a pigment used to make white paint.When this is added to resorcinol ( brown or purple) the natural colour becomes clear (ish)............. Paul B |

Thanks. My understanding is that resorcinol was always plum/purple colored.

Haven't used it myself, but a few years ago someone in the Planing Form wrote that using titanium di-oxide (or was it oxide?...) succeeded in diminishing
the color, but as they put it, "Alas, it came back in about 6 months." Hearsay, FWIW. Lee

Why would you want to change its color? For one thing, I would be very leery of putting any additives in a glue meant to hold a fly rod together. For another,
if I used it, I wouldn't try to disguise it as something else.jmho

mattcliff - No it isn't! I rather like it, if the lines are narrow and fairly uniform. It's also the best glue available. That said, and sadly, I
don't use it much any more because a lot of people don't like the purple glue lines. Another thing, I have tried color additives, various brands of
Resourcinol (and settled on the two part liquid stuff for aircraft propellors) and the color *always* comes back.

I know, I know. There I go being opinionated about aesthetics again. I realize resorcinol is a great way of showing off perfect glue lines. Still not my
taste, but in terms of function it is a great glue. I've used it in repairs and it is bombproof.
