Home made UV dyes

They are both the same. There is no difference under UV light how ever if you after a much cleaner look then go for UV yellow green.

I think I'll be going with uv green. I tried to checkout again and its still showing "Royal mail" and no international shipping. I'll try again on Monday but can you pm a quote to the US? Thanks

Mayhem, I have a job for you. I need a pure black dye (pastel style - not coca cola reddish brownish black) or coolant for a personal build of mine. Can you do it?

I would buy this in an instant. Or even just a solid dark gray.

Sounds like something that'll clogg up any block within seconds

Don't think so. I don't see any of these clogging so far, and black isn't impossible, just difficult.

@tiborrr i can do black in pastel colour. Pm me you address and the amount you need and ill sort it out for you.

For those interested in making near perfect deep none see though black. you need the following.

A) 1Ltr Pastel white or ( 1 x 250ml concentrate)
B) 1 Ltr of Di water or Ultra Pure H20
C) Deep Purple
D) **Yellow The colour you are looking for is E102 Tartrazine. If you cannot get Tartrazine you can use 636 Yellow 2G, its not as good but still does the job.

**(we do not sell yellow to the public as it has to be made direct from powder and easily goes off if not used with in weeks, Only when it is mixed properly and stored properly will this last once made into a solution.)

Mix 1 Ltr of pastel to 1 Ltr of Ultra Pure or DI.
Or mix 250ml concentrate pastel to 1.75 Ltrs of Di water or Ultra Pure.

This will create a misty none see though looking fluid

Then add between 20 to 30 drops of Deep purple to darken off the liquid. It will still have a tint of Purple to it.

Now this is were we darken it off. Mix the Yellow E102 Tartrazine about 10g to 100mls of di water or ultra Pure (the best way is to heat up the water to 40c so that it dissolves properly and leaves no sediment then let cool, then use.) and then carefully add just a couple of drops at a time to the newly made deep purple mix. do this slow and mix toughly. you will suddenly see the the purple turn black. Don't add to much else it will turn a oil black (very very deep green / black). Now if you do add to much yellow you can all ways counter it with 1 tiny drop of Red to bring it back into balance.
