ive read some earlier posts about dying the P3P white props different colors. For those that have done this, what Rit dye do I need to use? The regular or the Dye More type for synthetics?
I tried that and dang dye came under the tape in places . Those look good .I used the liquid rit dye..walmart $3 a bottle...i used 2 cups of hot water with 1 bottle of dye..mixed in a throw away tin pan..cleaned props with alcohol wipes and dropped them in...these are my results after 35min for blue..orange was almost an hour...i used 3m vinyl tape to make the stripes before the dye. Hope this helps
Pictures pleaseI did my props, but I didn't stop there, I also did my quad shell & TX.
Well, I put a whole bottle of red dye in a glass vase and added enough hot water to cover the props. Did that last night and now, 13 hours latter, almost NO color change. Slightly pink at best. Do you think I need to heat the liquid? Hot hot and for how long?I used the liquid rit dye..walmart (aisle with laundry soap) $3 a bottle...i used 2 cups of hot water with 1 bottle of dye..mixed in a throw away tin pan..cleaned props with alcohol wipes and dropped them in...these are my results after 35min for blue..orange was almost an hour...i used 3m vinyl tape to make the stripes before the dye.
