Process was relatively pain free. Learned the hard way that the liquid form is easier to work with than the powdered version (less messy).
Overall, very pleased with the outcome.

I used Rit. You can find it on Amazon and it's usually readily available at most craft stores for $3-4.Mako79 said:HAHAHA... I thought the topic was about lifespan of props..
I love what you have done to the props.
Do you have a brand of dye that you use and a procedure for future reference?
I'm not the first to do this. I followed the advice of others. Based on their experiences and posts, no trouble thus far. *knock on wood* My props still feel solid after. Don't feel more flexible or brittle, just the same as before.skeeter said:Devil's advocate checking in: does that much heat effect the plastic I wonder. .. sure looks nice!

- clean props
- boil water
- pour water into glass baking dish (or anything that won't stain)
- mix in dye concentrate (how much depends on how light/dark you want it and how much water you're using)
- let it sit for 15+ minutes
Voila!
