Rit Dye Instructions?

[Spreedizzle 1]

So I am going to be mounting a pair of the new A8 Sprungs on a RBK 7K ice boot. I would like to dye the chassis black, but the box doesn't have any kind of instructions on how to use the product with plastics, only with clothes. Has anyone done this and can describe the process of dying a chassis?

No problem I do what I can to help

dumb question but do you have to disassemble to sprungs before dyeing them? I'm uncertain if it will hurt the inner "springs" but would like to avoid taking them apart if possible.

nevermind.. answer is yes.

I was backreading the first 35 pages of the Sprung thread 2 nights ago and remember Sprungster mentioning that he's dyed the entire chassis without disassembling it. Don't remember the page number, though. If you haven't already dyed them, maybe you could email or PM sprungster.

True. I've dyed frames without taking them apart. The boiling water didn't hurt the springs other than coloring them very dark. The dye doesn't get up into some places good, but they don't show either. Nothing rusted suddenly. I did take out the axles.

One of the most famous pros in the game used a pair for his rec skates for a couple of years. I think he's probably using the A8's I gave him, now. As he's a manufacturer's icon, he can't use them in games at all.

I'm not a roller guy but these intructions worked for my ice holders

Do you know if dyeing the holders affect the integrity of them since they are going into a high temperature liquid?

You don't bake the components....just enough to get a slow boil. Once you get to that point turn off the heat and remove the pan from the heat source and just soak your components. It doesn't damage the parts.

I haven't experienced any problems with premature cracking or breaking

I put them in when the water is boiling and it doesn't hurt them at all. I get the dark colors by boiling them for long enough to get totally saturated, which may take 10-15 minutes. I've boiled them for that long assembled, too.

About a year ago I forgot about a LARGE pot of rocker arms and boiled all the water out and cooked about 150 of them into artifacts.

With that method discouraged, we, meaning me and my Chinese engineer and the resin/plastic experts, think that the boiling actually loads the material with water and tempers it. The rocker arms are often a little stronger after dying. Before we found the alloy compound we use now, we had to dye them all for strength alone. That's why the arms were all black or colors, while the frames were colored black in the material.

i was just under the impression that the dye will not activate/work best unless it reaches a certain temperature, like boiling point, thanks for the info.
