maybe I could do a local batch for AO*MA ballers or something, soak up the cost a little (no pun intended)...

I think both tape would become unstuck from the hopper, and the wax would melt away.

how bout super glue or summin like that?

[QUINCYMASSGUY]

transman, we are definitely thinking the same way, using crazy glue first, dying, then using nail polish remover on the crazy glue to remove it might work, not sure though

[TransMan]

ya might havta do some experimenting on some old crappy pods to see if it will work would hate to screw up a HALO shell.

[FallNAngel]

I see you tried dyeing the lid seperately... would it have turned out had you left it on the hopper?

[magman007]

you want designs eh? well heres how!

yes, the world of lacrosse saves joo!!!


from what i understand tho, if you wanted designs, you would have to mirrior them on the inside of the shell as well, to generate the clear color you want or otherwise... catch my drift?

[tribalman]

um..didn't u guys read the link?

"If you are planning on creating some kind of design and are dyeing your head something other than one solid color you will need some of the following.
duct tape or electrical tape...waterproof letter and number stickers..."
there you go. now u can do what ever u want.


*edit* also, what temp is the dye not supposed to reach so we don't get the warping?

Yes I went into the future and read the link that was in response to my post but I didnt want anyone to know I had a time machine so I posted my question anyway not to mention the fact that I would have changed history.....

Excellent thread, DP!!


How about some more in-depth step-by-step instructions, Temperatures etc...


Magman: Great Link!

[QUINCYMASSGUY]

tribalman, here's a link for you:

http://www.dictionary.com

Look up chronological as it explains how the posts appear on this page and since transman's and mine are earlier in the order, it means they were posted.... still following me tribalman?...... BEFORE the link. So don't be a jerk because you may just end up looking like an idiot.

Anyways venting aside, back on topic, magman007, thanks for the link, I am definitely looking at getting some clear pods and a clear halo and having some fun with this. I would definitely take the shell apart so I could waterproof the inside as well as the outside but this could turn out real cool. I guess another question is if you dye something totally black, can you resubmerge that part in, say, blue, and not change the black color since it's already as dark as you can go?

[Cryer]

Quincy-

If you dye an area black, then overlap with another color [blue], it will stay black, but will have a blue tint to it. The blue dye wont take out the black dye...

[CodeMA]

sweet looking hopper data!

rit dye great stuff, some guy used black on a blue profiler made it a nice black almost navy/blue grey color, looks great... I like anyway

[fire1811]
