Even adding 25% acetone to a hot water with RIT dye mixture still did NOT allow black color to absorb into this plastic. Music owned by Wang Chung "City of the Angels". To Live and Die in L.A. Geffen, 1985.
I totally get how you might want to publish failures to inform the masses but in the end it seemed all a waste when you did not even seem to know what type of plastic you have
It is truly amazing that people are so stupid these days that more time must be spent on safety instruction than the original idea. Concise...should take as little as one minute to convey this info....
vhtpaint.com/specialty/vht-vinyl-dye duplicolor.com/product/vinyl-and-fabric-coating hi, I went thru the drama of painting pvc, and auto/car upholstery paint was the best and most scratch resistant I found ... the black is mainly carbon black and MEK (methyl ethyl ketone) and butane propellant... MEK is the a very strong and nasty solvent, and also the most active ingredient of pvc pipe primer ... it will "melt" the top layer of pvc allowing the pigment to bond. It is also great for acyrlic (perspex) and ABS plastics, and doesn't really effect dimensional tolerances.
I was trying to dye a black plastic firearm part that faded. Sorry, not sure what a "PVC bow" is and cannot find "PVC bow" mentioned anywhere in this video?
