Like i say ALL dyes stain there is no avoidance on that and if a dye maker says they don't then they are lying because they don't know what else you are running in your system with it or if you running mixed metals or some sort of wired tubing.

Thank you! And ive been saying this for a VERY LONG TIME....

However your gonna piss off all our feser one fanbase now, but dont worry i got your back.

mlwood, how does the clear UV Blue stain look like? Im trying to visualize it... will it just turn blue or will it make your blocks glow blue?

If anything i might want to get some of your Clear UV Blue... this should be interesting...

Purple is sexy too, however i know that will stain and stain ugly it will.

Ive been running th UV now for 2 weeks coming up in a test loop in the Airing cupboard and so far it hasn't stained. I think only time will tell with that.

So far the only colour staining after 2 weeks is the bright red (deep pink mixed with clear blue) after 2 weeks of 24/7 heat and UV lights. This is with 8 drops to 1 pt which is excessive but on purpose.

The copper has a slight tone of pink on it.

I am trying to for the colours to stain in these tests to see how bad they.

What i relay need is some one with a injector Block to test these out as ive heard some dyes separate easily with in a couple of weeks and some times days.

Im how ever going to get into a fight about dyes as ive only done my own tests on other brands and my results were for me just to find out how there made and what rubbish they use to make them. lol. If people what to pay for over priced rubbish then that's up to them.

The deep red and slight red i have mixed my self to get them colour how ever will not be sold like that as they stain like hell and very quickly due to the strength of the dyes. I am waiting some info from my suppler as he has other red dyes that he can get hold off that i dont have to mix and said would not cause the staining effect as badly.

Clear blue by way if left in a very very long time i've seen it stain a slight white / blueish tone. i think how ever that is a reaction to other chems in the loop not mainly the dye itself as clear blue inst acutely classed as a dye.

[NaeKuh]

and does it have any reaction with silver?

I might want to try out your Clear UV. Id probably put a drop in all 3 of my loops.

[mlwood37]

No it should have no reaction to silver what so ever. I presume your using a silver coil in your system as the bioside.

Clear Blue will probably need up to 2 to 3 drops deepening on effect.

I can only send out samples of 5ml on the blue as alot of ppl are testing it out.

The green looks amazing!

Have you heard any results from people testing the green? (Eg, stains/clogs etc..)

[mlwood37]

evey one whats green lol ..

I have 2 samples going off to ppl with jets but i don't mind if you test another.

Until people have posted there results i don't know as i only own a XSPS delta on mine and it been running for a couple of weeks.

If you would like to test a green fire me you details and ill send you some out when the next bottles arrive.

Jeddy of oc3d is testing out the pink

pics below of him playing



Theres probably about a litre of water in there


3 drops:

5 drops:

8 drops:


From his tests ive increased the strength a little more. so he will hit the last colour on 2 drops alone.

It takes a bit of time to get info back but that's life.

[dingdong555]

Sadly I'll have to wait until you sell the bottles and I've seen tests.

I would love to test it but I currently have a closed loop in my rig with red dye but will be doing a rebuild in the coming months, Id I had any spare gear I'd test it though!

I'm eagerly waiting for the green results

[mlwood37]

I can send you a sample of green and it will be with u with in 48 hours if you like.

I cannot remember what i sent. over 15 went out this morning but ive been up every night last two weeks playing my self and to be honest just lost track of time and days ...
Some samples have gone to UK some to USA and a couple to Brazil ...

[IFMU]

Very nice colors. Hell, even the 'pink' looked pretty cool. o_O lol

If I had any idea how soon I'd be able to get a water block for my i7 rig here I'd bug yea for something.

I will bug you about one thing, even being a longshot.

I want a system with silver water. Yes, silver. Any idea on how to pull that one off? lol

It can be done but if you going to use a block that uses jet i strongly advise against it as the liquid would have particles in it.

More pics ..new bottles just need to do a logo for the stickers ..

[dingdong555]

I would love the green but I'm in Australia and don't have a "Loop" to test it in for a few months. How much would postage be to AUS??

[mlwood37]

USA is about £1.80 so i think it wouldn't cost more than £2.50 at the most.

Probably might be cheaper now im using plastic bottles instead of glass as well. I can check next time im down there to get a quote for you.

IFMU: Mercury?

I have a quick question. If you're running coloured liquid in your loop what does it matter that it stains? The idea is to see the colour of the fluid, right? And the stains will be the same colour, right? I really don't see the problem here?

Other than that, I think it looks sweet! Especially the picture of the drop of green which has just been added to a glass of clear water.

[IFMU]

IFMU: Mercury?

Thought about that. BUT... so many possible issues there I don't even want to think of the crap I'd have to do to make it a viable option. lol

[mlwood37]

yes they do stain and the colour is the same as the dye. this is over a period of time unless you go real nuts and stick 8 to 10 drops in then it will happen a lot sooner.

i do have some tubing that i went nuts on to see the effect. Ill get some shots up of what it can do if you not careful later on.

[3Z3VH]

I am still waiting for my sample to arrive, though I prolly was one of the last ones to request it, and I am all the way in the US, so I imagine it may take a bit... once I get this, I will toss some pictures up !

[mlwood37]

3V3VH yeh mate it says 5 to 10 days on the postage label (just double checked).

These are some new photos ive taken today for the ebay colours. Taken quite a bit of time just for normal colours (with out UV) will do UV under glow tonight.

[mlwood37]

here is a label i knocked up. think i would need them to be laser printed to do a better job though. But i think the basic idea and the way ive made them look is oky. I need to change them caps though to sealed caps. That will come one i have enough ££ to pay for them.

edit: just saw someone else suggested that too lol

[faster3200]

I just received my batch of the green yesterday. I am waiting on a few orders to arrive and I will post pics in a loop.
Otherwise I could throw up some more in a glass shots or I could put some in my current loop and you could see it in the res.
