Home made UV dyes

This is now how my mix looks.

1ltr liquid wit 10 drops candy red and 100 drops thinned blue.
Maybe it will be better with the purple? Going to try it out



Edit-1

Well eventually it turned purple..


New mix. 1ltr liquid 10 drops red and 25-30 drops of thinned purple. Looks better but not dark yet. If i add more purple it will just get a purple'ish color as wel.
Is it safe to use more of the red??

wow you got some wired colours there.

ItsI do have a much deeper red that will be out of testing in 1 1/2 moths time (very much like the deep Blue) if it passes then its will be perfect for mixing blood red as its real close. How ever my blood what im thinking off inst same evey opne else seems to think because blood red to me is a real deep red (purplish tint) not a see though light red.

i wonder if that has some thing to do with the wetting agent your using ill take photos tonight of 1 loop with yellow / green after 1 year + and its defo not gone as bad as that. This system only has 1 CCFL in it though. I really need to check what sample i sent you.

If you send me you address money ill send you out a retail versions of the yellow / green and Blue to make up a Green mix.

I don't know if it's the Anchor Water Wetting Agent. The colour started to fade only a few weeks a go and the only thing I can think of is sunlight.

I only added 1% Anchor Water Wetting Agent to my new mixture with 12 drops dye. When the colour starts fading again I'm going to try without the Anchor Water Wetting Agent for some time to see if it's better or not.

My 2 cents - if for experiment dyed water simply stayed in bottle, then fading results might differ with actual running loop, where water never stays still.

erm hehe

The way these tests are run i dont just leave them in a bottle they are running in real water cooled PCs for very long periods of time. How ever i cannot account for every single problems but i do a dammed good job at trying to get them coverd with the help of other forum members who all have different loops and let me know how its going.

I'll give you my address to try something new. Don't get me wrong I'm more than happy with the results of my first run with the dye but of course you'll want to improve your products so it could last a little longer and I'll be happy to try something new to see how it goes.

My candy red has faded completely by now... Hot loop 24/24, the WCG marathon meant nonstop maximum heat. Using deionized water + candy red + your biocide.

[M40TURBO]

Here is a mix of 1ltr liquid + 15 drops candy red and 50 drops of thinned purple.

How much biocide you used mate. only 1 drop per 1 ltr is enough.

might have to look at weekening it down more. still maybe way to strong if its still killing colours.

I think once i have the kill coils ill be removing the biocide from the sales.

[M40TURBO]

This is how the colors look now. Red 20-25 drops 90-100 of thinned purple. On 1ltr of distilled. Blue around 700ml and 7-8 drops.

I used 2 drops, my loop has about 2l water.

[mlwood37]

1 drops probs enough for 2 ltrs to be honist. 1 x 5ltr on of concentrate is enough for 50,000 Ltr of liquid lol.

Im just gonna post this because im really annoyed with the way ive been treated.

First one one of the forums member put http://www.angela.pl/ in contact with me ref orders and Bulk supply them dyes. (its not the forums members fault any of this)

Now after chatting with http://www.angela.pl/ they decided to place a large order of dyes at one hell of a discounted rate (45% Off)

Now they asked for credit which was fair enough as the company is quite large and they said they would pay with in 28 Days.

This HAS never happened and this was well over 5 months ago now and they still owe me well in access of over £350.

Now to some it may not seem like allot but as a very tiny company ive been struggling from day one and every thing i have done from sending out hundreds of samples to buying in new dyes for testing and i have no profit what so ever and have never made a penny from doing this. Yet Company's Like this literal takes the piss and think its funny to take these products off me and then never pay me even though they have sold on plenty of dyes. The cheeky people even asked for a Price on me exporting pre mix to them which would cost me a fortune.

To be honest all of this is leaving a very sour taste in my mouth as other companies all so seem to expect to do the same with me. Im now Down over £4000 with all the work ive been doing (this is taking into account every thing). I have had people ask me send them dyes they would review which only 2 of them ever have and i Thank you for this Guys. I had loads of ppl with build logs who have never bothered there assess to even give me a mention and all of this topped up with the fact company wont pay up.

Now the product i been working on is cheap , there is no way i can do it any cheaper. While im still being walked all over but people like this. Im going to re consider ever thing im doing in the next few weeks and if the situation doesn't change my just pull all my work. this includes certain companys Pre order Bulk liquids and then never bothering to follow up after they have all been made for them.

Any way this is my rant over . im just annoyed with being treated like this and If you are polish and reading you may what to convey to http://www.angela.pl/ how bad they really are.

mlwood37, sorry to hear about this kind of crap from such a large e-tailer but, it doesn't really surprise me. One way to deal with them is to not send any new orders until past dues are paid in full. Also, start sending them invoices on a weekly basis and warn them that if it's not paid in 4 weeks time, they will start coming on a daily basis until paid. Another method might be to add an interest rate to over due bills, say 2% per day. You might also want to look into getting your money through the legal system and let them know you are looking into pursuing such action.

Sorry to hear about something like this.. I really dislike people like that. :@

I have more bad news on you're red\purple dyes. Don't know why this is happening. The rad is new, just flushed. The tubing is unused. The res was unused but flushed. Distilled water. One of the ek 5970 blocks were used, but washed real good. The second one was tested with a mix of water and you're dyes. No flow.

Tested old pump tubes and res with water and purple dye for almost 2 months. Then the color was the same.. Put inn a rad,cpu\gpu block. Then it looked like something happened. Sorry i didn't test it for more then a few days.
But here's a pic of the blue and what was red 2-3days ago. The blue is the same as before.

[Waterlogged]

I am 100% convinced that this is a mistake which will be clarified as soon as possible, shop angela.pl is a decent shop and never had any problems with it and I buy quite often there

Your on the other end of the relationship with them than mwood37 is. Of course they're going to treat you well, that's how they make their money, it's getting them to let go of said money that's the problem.

OMG that one hell of a reaction. did you use bicode with this (mine) if so im going to pull it as its killing colours. Ive seen the same reaction on another biocide i tested once before but forgot which one it was.

[mlwood37]

kw mate if needs be ill send you all the emails back and forth to them. 1 min they say there emails are not working , then they say they will pay me and it will be in my bank in 4 days time , then they say the same thing again , then they ask for a quote on the pre mix, ect ect ect. No offence they may be very good sellers but as buyers they are bad.

They have lost my trust and any discount they had before and if they wanted to buy any thing in the future it would be cash up front.

[Church]

Can interest rates be added later on if not agreed upon/signed in sell/purchase contract? I'd rather try to scare with taking issue to civil court ..

For product that's already been sold, doubt it, but it can most certainly be added to new or reworked agreements. Cash up front works nicely too.

[M40TURBO]

No there is no biocide inn there at all. Going to add a kill coil when i decide to get a pair. Same distilled water in both the res. Just added you're dye's. It's strange that the blue is still the same.. The blue loop has the same tubes that was used the last time, only cleaned them. Same res, rad, cpu block. Just cleaned. Don't know why it's reacting like this, maybe my bad luck But it would be nice to know what it was, and if anybody else have had the same experience..

A BIG MASSIVE THANK YOU. Send me you addres mate there is a present on it way to you.

all sorted now

Waterlogged can you edit you post please and remove the quote. thank you.

It was a a miss understanding and it is all now sorted.

Just received my dyes today, is it safe to run candy red and deep purple or can I expect results like M40TURBO?

Ive been running the same mix in my system now for over 9 moths + in my own water cooled rig with no problems how ever for some reason M40TURBO mix isnt working well as expected. I dont know why as this is the only reported problem so far out of 1000+ sales.

the only time i have had problems is when mixed with the biocide as if to strong when i first made it but i resolved that issue.

[cleiomar]

I mixed 40 drops candy red and about 1 drop of deep purple into 1 litre of water, is that too much? I'll post a pic shortly.
