Home made UV dyes

[mlwood37]

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.
