    Thank you so much for this. It's the best video of its kind on the internet. I am dyeing a protogen visor for my child's halloween costume tomorrow. I know I can get Rit DyeMore graphite locally. Unfortunately there don't seem to be any local vendors of iDye Poly in black. What issues are people reporting with Rit? Also, my first attempt to do this failed last night... the visor deformed and curled up. I note that yours remained perfectly formed. I assume this happened because I was heating the dye pot directly and failed to remove the pot from the burner. (I shut off the burner, but the residual heat from the coil probably made the water near the bottom of the pot too warm?) I plan to re-try this tonight with a new visor. Do you have any advice for me to keep the visor from curling and get the best possible results with Rit dyemore liquid dye?

    • @Cosplay4usall
      @Cosplay4usall 8 місяців тому

      I can't comment on the Rit dye. The only thing I know is that the idye poly is formulated specifically for plastics (ie polyester etc). As for the deforming, sounds like you definitely had the great too high! Make sure you get the water high, as the dye directions state, but then you MUST cool it down before putting in the visor. So remove from the great source and allow to cEool to right below the deformation temp of the plastic you're using (you can Google it, if it's not PETG). Let it soak but be sure to keep swishing it around or you'll likely get dye spots on the plastic. Good luck and Happy Halloween 🎃!

      You could leave it, just don't let it sit still for long or the dye might leave splotches of uneven color. Just swish, swish, swish. We often rinsed and resoaked because we needed to warm up the water (which activates the dye and opens the pores of the plastic) and to check the color progress.

    Hello! What would be the best approach for giving a petg domed lens a slightly chrome finish? My friend tried the "spray chrome in the inner surface" method, but due to the increase of humidity in the mask, when he touched the lenses he accidentally wiped off the paint. My friend recommended me to simply spray the front of those back lenses (think of the build as outer PETG lenses and inner painted PETG lenses with a fabric mesh sandwiched in between), but from my understanding the shiny effect only appears on the opposite side of where you've sprayed, while the sprayed surface retains some visibility. I was thinking of using a chrome dye for a pot (if those even exist), or to apply a clear antifog film like the ones used for mirrors in the inner surface of the sprayed lens, if that won't ruin the way the chrome reflects. What do you think? What dye type should i be looking for? Because i might even try to paint the petg white.

I already understand how to pleat the fabric, and I realize I need to sew lengths of cloth selvedge to selvedge to get my desired width...but it is the yoke that is stumping me. I do have a reproduction tunic based off the original but I would really hate to pick it apart to examine the construction for fear that I would not be able to put it back together!

    Another effective trick is if you have smaller light yellowish white nylon plastic parts that you want solid black, just get a container and use 100% acetone and add a tone of the iDye Poly and maybe heat it up by using hot water and well ventilation and that works the best.

I would start at the 140 degrees and if it's not working, add some hotter water and get the temp up a bit. If it looks like the dye is being repelled from the plastic (it's not taking color and/or appears to just bead off) then it has a safety coating and you won't be able to dye it.
