Yet Another "Half-baked" Concept

[Warwitch]

So has anyone been following the 'baked' marker trend over on the Nation?

Bake Your Marker

It seems that agg kiddies all over are throwing their beloved markers in the oven at exteme temps for 2+ hours in order to change their colors. Ive seen some pretty cool results. And yet the idea seems so completely ridiculous that it makes my head hurt. Seems awful dangerous.


But without further adiu.....Here are a couple of pics from the thread:

After pic (no before pic)



Before:



After:






some barrels-- all of them were black



cyborg 06 (red/black fade)




So who's going to be the first to do a Tac-one?!

Tie-die markers...

We just need a kit to sell. Maybe some pottery glaze ("high tech ceramic coating" of course).

I thought it was kinda dumb, but that DM looks sex, not gonna lie.

Actually the temps are low, IIRC it was 2-250 for a couple of hours. As you are removing the soft stuff I cannot see where this would cause any kind of safety issue.

Still pretty silly IMO.

That's Celsius, which is 392-482 Farenheit.

The color change, without looking any information up, is probably due to the tiny pockets of dye bursting/cracking/popping open and exposing the dye to air or letting it escape. Another factor could be the dye, itself, scorching; reverting back to it's carbonic base.

Either way, I think it's funny that the markers are taking after the owners and becoming completely baked.

I wonder what compounds are outgasing from the markers during the baking process. Perhaps these compounds will hang around in the oven and enter any food cooked in them at a later date. MMMm sounds good.

sadly iv been home sick for 2 weeks and im bored as hell, i threw in my stock tac barrel and one of 6 evil driver barrels i have just to see what happens

[ThePixelGuru]

Wow, who knew you could do that... Still, I'd be afraid to try it with my nice expensive gear. Who thought of that? ...And why?

The details and possible problems are pretty thoroughly discussed in the linked thread. Of course you will have to sort through the 40+ pages of "omfg!!!!11" in order to find the good stuff. Several of the larger ano guys have chimed in their .02 (for what thats worth, you know they hate competition!)

And no doubt some of the results have been really sweet. I love that 'Borg. And the DM aint too shabby either.

[jade_monkey07]

so far some of them have been really sweet
blues seem to turn purple ish
reds turn pink
black turns brown or nice coppers
silver doesnt change
dont think anyone has tried green stuff yet
