well, for lacrosse sticks, which are plastic ( the heads) we boil the water and dye and put the stick in. then we let it go for a low simmer but we keep it just at the boiling point, then we look at it and check for the color we want. then we pull it out and let it cool. You can do a cool splatter effect also, by puting hot glue grips over the spots you want to stay clear, then peel em off afterwards. I am not responsible if you mess up. Also cliff, do you have msn?

[Cliffio]

might as well try, how long do you usually leave them in for?

also, whats the ratio of water to dye?

[magman007]

well, remember we use a different plastic in lacrosse... so im not sure. you do the dye as dark as you want it, the plastic should be a little lighter than the water when your done... here let me find the article on lacrosse stick ddying, be right back

hmm... it softened the plastic cliff?


I've always liked how ricochet's look... and my clear revvy seems kinda plain... maybe kill 2 birds with one stone there?

i cant decide which is better, the sink or the angels, i have seen equal pictures of each...cliff im sorry but the sink wins in my book.....

what will we do if you get a new sink tho?
