I hear delrin will dye nicely (not black ones). There are some other threads describing those. Look around, I can't remeber where I saw those. Anybody???

[neo71665]

Pretty much the same as a hopper but it take dye quicker.

[harpo568 (Banned)]

it should take the dye but watch out for warping and swelling (both are possible)

can you put real intricate desings with the tape or will it bleed under i want to put the DM4 symbol on my halo

[neo71665]

Use hot temp hot glue.

Will any of this work on goggles/masks? I have an old pair of Scott goggles I was thinking of messing around with.

The only problem is it's black plastic

may weaken the plastic and wont turn up on black but what you can do is put ducktape over what you want dyed and it will come out like alligator skin and electrical tape completely covers what ever its put on

[EnigmaX]

Could you explain this ducktape/elect tape a little more? I'm kinda confused on exactly what your illustrating.

[Lunch__Box89]

the duck tape you put over where you want to dye do to the ducktape having small strings threw it the reason its strong also lets the dye bleed threw but the strings wont so it makes it look like aligator skin the electrical tape is like another blocker the dye cant soak threw tada

nice info i used to to dye my egg. its sweet as hell now. the only thing im worried about is if its as strong as it used to be.
has any one had any weakness problems?

[Lunch__Box89]

should be fine

[wings of fury (Banned)]

ok i hope so i think my lid shrank cause it broke when i tried to put it on. ill get another and maybe try a blue black fade on it
this made me look at my egg in a whole new way now

[godp777]

what no pics...i wanna see some pics..

[Lunch__Box89]

****ty about your lid what tecnics did you do to it

[harpo568 (Banned)]

there should be no shrinkage, swelling or weakening of the plastic...unless you used outrageously hot boling water for long perids of time (Basically you'd have to use a pressure cooker)
the dye is in such small amounts and the water temp is WAY below the melting point of the plastics you are dyeing that they should not affect the materials in any way...
but!!!!!
NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER mess with lenses...if you want a tinted lens go buy one.

[neo71665]

Auto tint works on lens without doing any damage.

[harpo568 (Banned)]

hey "Howlie"...learn some English.
you can use colored plastic but it will affect the final color you wind up with.

[WoRrHeRo76]

dude its haouli not howlie... and besides jus bcuz i tot like dis here dont mean i cant speak proper english... i choose 2 do it dis way cuz its faster, less typin... tanx fer da info and all but man ur ignorant.

Just tried a new project... Yellow dye job on a Halo.
The body is polycarbonite, just like an eggy. Polycarbonite is a pretty hard plastic, and it takes boiling temp to get the dye to work into the plastic. There is one difference; the lid is made out of a softer material, and I just screwed up my brand new hopper lid. Oh well, learn from my mistakes!
