I have put a bit of paint into it to match up with horn for a riser overlay. Worked pretty well, very difficult to see. I don't know if it would affect the strength of the bond my use was just cosmetic.

I never knew Smooth On had dyes. I've though of adding a few drops of India ink while mixing to make black glue lines.. I've heard of woodworking guys using it that way...BeauJ

I would assume that smooth-on is lacquer based. I have used oil base spray paints for tinting fiber glass resin. That last bow I did in green and mixed in some TB3 worked like a charm makes the finish that much more durable and water resistant.
