" only shows up on clothes"
I hear ya! 😂

 

Yeah it sucks a big wang a dang. Gets all over your hands and clothes and barely noticeable on the lawn. I wish someone would come up with another solution but have yet to find one.

 

Spray your spots or outline what you want to kill off with regular spray paint can, let it dry, spray the glypho.

Had a same issue with junk dye a couple years ago and just used an old red spray paint can. You don't want to soak the blades too much, enough to see. Worked well for me

 

You're not using enough. I finally figured out how to not get it on myself. I don't bother taking off the cap. On the other side I drilled a hole. Came out nice and didn't dribble down the bottle.

 

You just need to get a lawn striping kit, and then spray along your stripes.
Or maybe you can do the same with just your mower tracks, but I like the stripes.

I wholeheartedly agree with this. I used to use dye then decided I should just mow the day before spraying. When I spray now I just following my stripes. My backpack sprayer sprays exactly 2 mower widths for me. I don’t even use dye now because it’s so hard to mess that up.

even if you don’t have a stripe kit you should be able to see your tire tracks. Give it a try and I think you’ll like it.

If that doesn’t work then try using more dye. I used to use lazer and if I remember correctly I used 4oz per gal (which I believe was 1oz more than the label called for.)

+1

You need to use more if you can't see it when spraying. Also, ALWAYS wear gloves when handling it to help prevent Smurf hands.

I'll never understand why a bottle of dye costs so much.

 

I think I figured out part of my problem after spraying last night.
I just wasn't putting enough product down in my application.
I used enough dye in the mix but was walking to fast and not really painting it on.
I would still rather have something with more contrast.

 

The answer is simply to use more dye?

I can't speak for others.
I was using enough dye in my mix I was just going to lite on my application.
I was doing more of a misting then painting if that makes sense.

For me it was. I have the Lazer marking dye. I don't measure just pour :lol: Even with darker green grass it is easily visible. Helps keep the kids away and me from over spraying areas.

Ditto. And I use Green, which is even harder to see if you ask me. Just need to up the dose.

 

Spray in the dew. But even if there is no dew, dragging chains off the boom can make visible marks on dense turf for you to follow. For backpack sprayers, the spray itself can change the dew appearances, and your foot prints can be a guide. I rarely use dye. Only on dormant turf for the most part.

 

 

How long have you found that dye lasts on the turf? Any issues with it tracking on your feet or pets when dry or if it is wet again?

 

I have piece of pipe that I lay out at the widest point of my booms spray pattern after making the turn. The pipe then is the aiming point for the other side of the boom when I return. No die needed, just walk kinda straight.

 

If you have a lawn that has any size to it and not a nice square shape marker dye is you only option. I have 2 acres to care for and the only square shape I have is the bottom of a Jack Daniels bottle.

 

There's always a foam marking system but that's either a DIY build or significant expense.

 

From @Alex715 above:
Hello everyone !

I recently ran into an issue with my soccer field striping paint. I used a product that I bought online, but I'm not convinced of its effectiveness, because our terrain is different. I would therefore like to seek your advice and recommendations on choosing a reliable striping paint product suitable for different types of terrain.

Thank you in advance for your precious help.

Sincerely, Alex
