Home made UV dyes

Recieved my shipment the other day, thanks, fast shipping!

I am concerned with the UV dye however, it shouldn't look like this right?



It looks to be separated, and I assume the same will happen in my loop which would not be all that great.

If you need a better image I can post one later once my better camera is home. And no that is not flash on the bottle, it is white stuff separated and floating/sunk to the bottom

Hi there that's normal Give it a good shake its not separated its actually a gell.

You only need 1 to 3 drops per ltr and its will disperse in the system. The gel (dye) is very thick and seems in the warm weather you get that. giving it a good shake before use to mix it back into its liquid state will solve that problem. Once its in Use in the water cooling system youll never see that again.

Thanks for your reply! It is not hot in my house, 68-70F, and I have shook it a few times and it still separates right back to the same way.

Are you sure that is OK? I know when my PC is running it will mix back up, but when it is not it seems to me like this will settle back into the same type of thing in my loop somewhere.

Maybe not though, in a larger amount of water, but I just thought I would let you know it is not hot in my house so heat can't be the cause and it re-separates again after shaking it up

Yeh Its fine it a gel. its because its so thick that it goes like that. I could sell its as a pure thick gell but if i did it would be 1 drop per 5 Ltrs which would be a micky take.
