Reddit reviews Rit Dye Purpose Liquid Dye, Black

The real reason black clothing is of concern to the CCP is because the blue water cannon dye doesn't stain it. The CCP banning black clothing is futile because the protestors can buy black clothing dye for $3 and turn their white shirts black.

NAH. Label it Rit dye.

If one leaves ones detergent one is generous to a fault.
If one uses detergent someone else left one is gracious without gratitude.

But if one cannot follow simple instructions one is a dumbass and deserves whatever one gets.

I would write "Do NOT drink!!" on it too.


The guilty bugger will be wearing black.

This will solve all your problems.

make all your socks black.

Right so I'm not colorblind. Here's the backstory:

I asked around on how RIT dye performs on keys awhile ago: http://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/28j894/rit_dye_question/

People didn't really have much to say so I gave the idea a shot on my Poker

The dye I used was RIT Black: http://www.amazon.com/Rit-Dye-Liquid-Fabric-8-Ounce/dp/B001QX2G9S

The current color is a light brown, looks pretty nice in person. It's the result of doing 8 30 minute boil and soak cycles. Basically I mixed the dye with water 1:1, brought that to a boil, took it off the heat, added in the keys, waited 30 minutes, removed the keys, brought it back to a boil, repeat.

So overall the idea works. RIT dye will impart a very faint color onto the keys which can be strengthened over longer dye times. I'm pretty happy with the results. If I were to do it again I'd probably just leave the keys on the heat and simmer for an hour or two instead of doing all the boil and strain cycles. I did end up missing a few keys during straining and let them boil by accident but nothing happened to them except for having a bit of a darker color than the other keys, so it seems like boiling the keys in the dye would be fine. Of course Poker keys are probably made out of tougher stuff than other keyboard keys so YMMV.

This works pretty well:

But if you really want a lasting impression:

What color is your current Magpul Stock, Grip and Handguard? if you have FDE I can guarantee http://www.amazon.com/Rit-Dye-Liquid-Fabric-8-Ounce/dp/B001QX2G9S will be easier and probably provide better results than spray painting it. I don't see why the darker colors wouldn't work either (I assume Foliage Green etc.. should still work. Might have to go higher strength/less water or more soaking time), but this stuff is like $1.99 @ Walmart. No matter what you decide to do, at least unscrew the rubber butt pad on the stock... I've seen some lazy paint jobs. You don't have to take the whole thing apart, just unscrew the rubber pad. If you want to spray paint it. Also Degrease/Clean whatever surface you plan to Dye/Paint. Its a simple step to forget and will drastically alter your end results.

I've dyed jeans, both blue and black. The black took a bit better than the blue did. I used regular Rit dye but didn't use a fixative (honestly because I didn't know you had to). For the black, I just used black. For the blue, I was trying to get an ink wash look going so I mixed 50% denim blue with 50% black and it did OK. I would probably up the black content next time and definitely use the fixative.

Baby wipes for life! AAnd I don't practice what I preach, but having panty liners can really save undies from tampon overflows.

Also, if you totally ruin your undies with stains, just dye them black instead of throwing them out. It's cheap and soooo easy.

Well, that's very nice of you. I'd been considering ordering the new one with the M cut-out in black titanium again, so that's awesome. I'll gladly post the details; keep in mind that this wasn't an exact science, but ultimately led to the results in the pic.

First, the dye I used is Rit Dye, Liquid form. It comes in a 8-ounce bottle, super concentrated. Here it is on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Rit-Dye-Liquid-Fabric-8-Ounce/dp/B001QX2G9S

The dye is also available at CVS and Wal-Mart, and I'm sure you can find it in grocery stores or wherever you find laundry detergent. I originally bought it at walmart a long time ago. Now, I only used the liquid because that's what I had laying around. There is also a powder form, which is half the price of the liquid. If I were going out to buy it, I'd just get the powder which you can probably find locally as well. It's definitely at Wal-Mart.

You won't be working with more than a quart of water anyway, and both are meant to be mixed with much more water.

Normally, you'd use a pot over a stove for this. However, I knew that this material would take longer to penetrate, and there's also the risk of melting or otherwise distorting the case's shape if you get the water too hot or if the case rests against the hot bottom of the pan. (When I dyed my computer cables and tubing, I used marbles to line the bottom of the pot to prevent anything from touching the bottom, but I was just too lazy to set all that up again for the case).

Instead, I used a throw-away two-quart Glad tupperware container that was shoved in the back of a cabinet.

Do not wear any clothes you don't want to stain, and if you drip any of the dye or dye solution on any surface, wipe it up absolutely immediately. This stuff will even stain your skin temporarily (use bleach to get it off your skin).

I filled the two-quart plastic container about halfway with hot tap water (The dye does penetrate a lot faster with heat, might even be worth your time to heat the first batch of water in the microwave to get it near boiling, but I didn't bother at first). I added the entire container of dye to the water. Overkill, but more dye=darker black. This rule, at least, applies to fabrics. I can't be sure that the slightly thicker solution (higher concentration) wasn't actually hindering absorption somehow, but I do know that if you dilute it too much when dying plastics, you'll get more of a deep purple tint rather than black.

After mixing the dye with a plastic fork for a few seconds, I placed the case in the container and put the lid on it. This was all done in the morning. In the evening, the water had gone to pretty much room temperature. I opened the container and removed the case (using a plastic fork) and rinsed it off. By then the color was just slightly darker than the initial gray, but it was still noticeable that the dye had done at least something. So, I heated the dye solution without the case in the microwave a little at a time until it was unbearably hot to the touch but not boiling (using the lid and paper towels for splash protection). Then I placed the case back in the dye solution, put the lid on, and left it alone until morning. In the morning, it was pretty dark, but I went ahead and put it in the microwave again. Honestly don't know if the extra time made much difference. The heat does for sure, so if you're patient and careful enough applying constant heat, you can probably get it done faster. A lot more time in heat could very well make it even darker, but I'm satisfied with how it looks now.

So, summary:

• Get a box of powder or liquid Rit Dye (powder is cheaper)
  
• Get a cheap, expendable 2-quart microwave-safe plastic container with a lid
  
• Proceed with the understanding that this shit will stain basically everything, so be careful
  
• Fill container halfway with hot (not boiling) water.
  
• Add entire contents of Rit Dye to the water and stir with a plastic fork or something.
  
• Add case to liquid and put a lid on the container.
  
• Check occasionally to see if case is getting darker, and heat up the dye solution a couple more times over a 24-hour period. I would advise heating the dye solution without the case.
  
• When it's dark enough to your satisfaction, wash case with soap and water, dry thoroughly
  

Just run them through a black dye when they get worn.

rit dye != vinyl dye. Coming from the Nerf hobby, vinyl dye is the best thing for you, just remember to apply it in thin coats. Rit dye will simply not take to ABS, I can tell you from personal experience.

Boiled two cups of water in the microwave, than I added it into a bowl with about half a bottle of rit color dye. I let it sit in there for about 3 mins until I liked the color. Than I just used a tooth brush and cleaned it. Super easy! Only hard part is reassembling this bastard haha

Edit: wanted to add that it was this stuff http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001QX2G9S?cache=1cdbdcda3059f85948ee92c27555da59&pi=SY200_QL40&qid=1410547673&sr=8-2#ref=mp_s_a_1_2

Dye

Soak all the plastic parts in this dye. Friend of mine did a stock on his masada with it.

Would this liquid dye work? https://www.amazon.com/Rit-All-Purpose-Liquid-Dye-Black/dp/B001QX2G9S

I'm not satisfied with how black my Uniqlo jeans are but they are just so comfy so I figured I should dye them. Anyone with any experience dying jeans black? I found this but I'm not sure how much I need for one pair of jeans.

Interesting! This stuff?
Does it fade or wear easily?

Will this work?

Awesome, so it shouldn't be too hard? I was thinking of maybe doing this in a bucket in my bath tub. Sound like a solid place to dye? Or does the water have to be much hotter.

(my shower definitely gets pretty hot, but not sure how hot it needs to be)


Edit: Just watched a bunch of youtube vids, it seems easy enough. One thing I've been seeing in the comments though is that it is not really "permanent." This wouldnt be good if it starts raining (cause it rains a lot here) and I'm keeping important documents in it.

Rit black dye. Follow the instructions on the box.

I've used Rit fabric dye, which I think is just the most common type - it's available at pretty much any craft store.
It works super well, and as long as you rinse them well you can machine wash them with other things and it doesn't bleed.

I dyed 3 pairs of pants (one jeans, two khakis) black because I needed black pants, and it worked like a charm.
I just used a huge old plastic bucket to let them soak when they dyed, and threw the bucket away.

Good luck!

I use RIT brand dye to re-dye faded black clothes. The liquid kind is easier than the powder. There are different kinds for cotton and for synthetic fabrics. You can get it lots of places, like WalMart, Target, Amazon, craft stores like Michaels... my local grocery store even stocks a few common colors like black and navy.

Be forewarned: if you dye clothes directly in the washing machine, it's going to stain the machine, possibly permanently. I dye mine a few items at a time in a huge old pot on the stove, and then I rinse them outside with a hose until the water runs clear, and THEN I run them through the wash (on cold, and only with things that are the same color, and then dry them on as high a temp the fabric can take).

I would buy this

Chapin International G362 All Purpose Hose-End Sprayer, 1 Pack, Translucent White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UER1S2I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Dw2xDbFAS5C5C

And get some black dye like this

All-Purpose Liquid Dye https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001QX2G9S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Dx2xDb99M1H23

Dilute it with water, then put it in the spray bottle

I'd take the soft top off the Jeep and spray it with the dye.

I'd do a couple coats. I'd start off with the dye being super concentrated, then add making the mix more concentrated with every coat until I had the mixture I wanted.

Tape and plastic is your best friend to not dye the windows.
