How to dye water cooling tubing *Experiment*IKIKUINTHENUTZ

[IKIKUINTHENUTZ]

Nice bit of research and a good idea.

Just be careful what it touches. That dye is not 100% permanent.

I've used rit in the past on clothing. I know, for a fact, that if you wash an item dyed with it, with other clothes, the dye will transfer and your laundry will be ruined. Even after quite a few washes alone (10 or so) it sill gets the other clothes.

It may stain your blocks and pump internals due to this fact too.

Just warning you, i don't mean to sound rude or anything.

I don't think clothes have the same chemical materials in a Tygon tubing which I think the characteristics may be different.

Interesting to say that because when you dyed your clothes, what method did you use? I do know the washer machine dye method sucks ass though and any cold water way. Plus I normally hand wash dyed clothing for fear of bleeding.

Now I did decide to google up a bit on dying plastics with rit + heat and next thing you know I ran into this very fun keyboard mod on OCN

After reading a bit, these 2 post caught my interest on the subject matter

I decided to do a cross section on the 30 second tube


Dye did not penetrate inside because not enough time had lapse.

Is anyone here willing to run a complete loop for days with dyed watertubing + distilled water? I don't have water blocks to do this
