Home made UV dyes

[Alien Grey]

Ya, see, not sure.

Wish white was possible, then we would not waste mixing colors and end up never getting the color we want which IS Milk + UV Blue.

Keep working on white, that would be awesome!

I doubt that they used water in that mix. It must have been a white fluid but I've got no idea what it is.

If you mix the dyes with water it's always clear and that marine blue isn't.

New laser printer , new design, new logo =



Ive still not got the proper logo back yet but this is what im aiming for so you getting to see it before its finished . But any comments are welcome.

I will be adding what colour it is under the main premix title in lower letters as well.

Im aiming for a no Bull approach but trying to keep you informed on what's inside as such.

I don't think any one using this stuff need's to be told how to use it.

All so at a price point of £5.50 its hitting the right mark as Dye , Water , Biocide, Inhibitor and funnel will cost you alot more than what im selling.

All so it comes in a costume box making it easer for a company to ship a single bottle with out any additional expense.

Think ive got most the bases covered.

The drop looks good on the small bottle. But is kinda "small" on the bigger one maybe.?

Yeh it doesn't look good atm as i haven't got the final logo back from the people doing it. Once its back i can adjust it a little more but i don't know if i need the logo splattering all over how ever i might make it faded into the back ground for the full back ground picture. I don't what to overwhelm the consumer will bull neither and just the facts. Some of the bottles ive been reading and looking at just look over the top and i think i prefer the simplistic approach. Im not trying to look like a big company hence i need to make sure that what ppl are looking at portrays a cottage type industry effect.

How many drops is that?

Thanks Mick! my dye kit arrived few days ago... Yay!
I'm digging the new Logo too. very nice.... mine are with the Classic logo.... lol

I was in the middle of my build... but i snapped a couple of nudes!

The "Clear/UV Blue" is NICE when the drop goes into the resevoir.. and is visible in the res too! but it then disperses into the system.... and the Glow starts to dim... and become more sublte. Still nice.... but i liked the POP it has in the beginning. The water in the resevoir doesn't really glow after it disperses into the system.
In total I put 4 drops in... ( with time between drops) For a Sanity check... I removed a few ml's of water from the res. and it glowed under the CCFL... so it still glows! but not in the res... odd! (tubing is Primoflex clear)

Big Thanks again tho!! sublte is nice too! hahah

2nd drop of UV Green!! 1 drop Cl/UV Blue (glows more in person)


1 drop UV Pink




Pretty close to how the Clear/UV Blue looks in my PC!

[mlwood37]

wich UV blue did you get . was it a sort of misty white liquid or a pee yellow type liquid.

As there are 3 versions of UV blue. i might of sent you the wrong one lol.

[Alexandr0s]

wrong one? I don't know, but that first picture looks pretty cool. It has a nice eery glow :P.

Yeh there are 3 different versions each one works better depending on what its use is. Eg Clear blue on its own and then additives for UV black and UV blue. By mixing them correctly you get different effects.

There is a 4th one but its just not good at all.

[Wang]

Ohhh I wasn't aware there were more than 1 type. lol hmm mine is the pee yellow one. let me know if there's a more powerful one for use on it's own.
I worked out a way to drain easily... so that's not a problem.

thanks

[mlwood37]

hmm send me you address and ill send you another different type to have a try with.

I have a small question about the color I mean about getting Red color .. I do not mean a blood red, just a solid red, which was to mix colors? Only Candy Red ? or Candy Red + UV Yellow/Green ?

[mlwood37]

sorry i dont understand you question.

allso a note to ppl im working with (i should say) at Newcastle university with a team of chemists and researchers and were looking over some new ideas all so im working with some other people on some more ideas for a new type of radiator. hence for this reason i haven't been around allot. (lots of meetings).

All so ive been given a Innovation grant from the government to try and improve liquid cooling . Ill tell you more once i get back for all the work.

That's awesome!

My clear UV blue looks greenish to me but looks great when I take a pic and everyone else says it's blue and I'm nuts....

So I bought and installed Primochill tubing and now I'm happy.

If you use alot of Clear UV blue it does look like it has a tint of green to it. Ive seen that my self your not going nuts it all depends on how the light reflects on it. So i agree with you there lot of UV blue = a Slight greenish tint under the right lighting condictions.

I ask which color's I have to mix for Deep Red? I Mix Candy Red and UV Pink, but the color is still too bright. If I add the purple color, then color is too dark.

1 drop of Purple into 10mls of water then use 1 drop of that to mix in candy red. do this slowly till you get the colour you would like.

Thank you very much for mixing tip :>

Due to the problem of a volcano that we have in Europe all deliveries will be slow. this is some thing that is totally out of my control. I have had a few emails asking for delivery times and this would be imposable for me to say any were out side of England.

Threats of "i will tell ever one you delivery is "!!!!!"! ... wont work with me neither if the user is reading this forum. All the items sold through the shop are packed the same day and sent the same day via Air mail and normally arrive with in 7 to 14 days (some times quicker). How ever this will be much longer as said above.

thank you.

Any one whos tried to use the contact us for may have had problems. this is now fully working. sorry about this Guys.

UV Swamp Green

Just out of testing going retail with in next few days

this is a mixture of Blue no 3 , Yellow , Uv clear blue, Uv Clear yellow . Mixing ratio of 25/25/25/25

All premixed. Under test it has kept its UV brightness very very well. In fact im totally loving this colour.



Picture with and with out flash. With high light its see through under normal light its cloudy. Under UV its Cloudy deep green. This colour is very wired as depending on were you have it it can look totally different. Love it ...

Bad points though there is stain on the block at 12 month point but only under UV. I would not recommend you keep this in a system over 12 months. It would be highly likely if you do not have a good inhibitor this dye will promote growth once the inhibitor has lost its effect.
