This gets on just how to color RC parts using RIT color in powder form. I am not responsible if you damage or ruin any of your parts utilizing this approach. I am simply sharing with you exactly how I do this and also what effect this approach has.
PLEASE READ ALL WARNINGS AND TIPS BECAUSE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THE RISKS INVOLVED BEFORE DOING THIS!
I will certainly use colored parts in my quadcopter build, nevertheless opening step is just for looks. It has nothing to do with function.:-RRB-.

RIT color is item for dyeing material. Nonetheless, individuals figured out that this stuff dyes plastic products very well and also it's preferred within RC neighborhood. Black color particularly dyes stuff completely and also it's almost impossible to inform if something is dyed or otherwise. Significant advantage of dyeing is that you can't damage it of as well as it does not include additional layer like paint does.
dji :.
1. This process is completely IRREVERSIBLE, so ensure that this is what you desire!
2. If you splash the dye on the cooktop or kitchen area component, tidy it ASAP. Color will certainly leave marks on basically anything (plastic, timber ...). Recognize that danger!
3. Temperature, on one hand, is very important for appropriate dyeing (dye does not actually do anything in cold water), yet on the other hand heat could melt the plastic. So, be really careful with water temperature level. If you warp something like connector you will have hard time to connect it in later.
4. Know that by dyeing anything that has metal parts you take the chance of corrosion. Dye itself doesn't impact steel, nonetheless water does. So e.g. wires and also ports (T-plug) can wear away if you don't completely dry them correctly. Likewise, you can't truly prevent water from going into the cord so recognize that danger. You can not dry it completely either. I recommend not making use of first few inches of dyed wire preferably.
Tips:.
1. I advise to stick with BLACK color only. You can color parts with other colours too, nevertheless, results aren't typically that great. Likewise, you can only dye from light to dark colours. So, e.g. you can dye white plastic to any kind of colour, however blue can only be colored black.
2. Make sure that all parts are totally tidy as well as devoid of any type of dust, oil and/or grease. Dye will certainly not pass through trough this and also you will wind up with uneven and ugly results.
3. RIT color will certainly not dye stainless-steel pots and they are simple to tidy after dyeing. Also, you can safely use them for cooking after that. Nevertheless, the best means is to utilize some old pot that you don't utilize for food preparation anymore.
4. I use around 1/3 of the bag for the amount of water I've used in the video clip. Certainly, for even more water you require a lot more color.
5. You can recycle color. Simply warmth it up once more and also you are excellent to go. Of course, you can't dye stuff constantly without adding much more dye. However you will certainly discover when there is to little color, don't worry.:-RRB-.
6. Dyeing usually takes between 15-30 mins, nonetheless it depends on kind of plastic as well as it can use up to an hour. If something doesn't dye even after an hour it most likely will never ever color. Most plastics dyes just fine and also cords to. You can't color steel parts!
7. I generally make use of a peace of timber for mixing. It's fantastic because it sops water so it's a great deal harder to unintentionally splash around. You can likewise make use of a peace of cutlery (fork, spoon or something).
8. When coloring servo cables it's great concept to remove pins from servo adapter and dye cables with pins however without adapters. In this way you do not run the risk of melting or deforming the port and also it's a whole lot easier to dry this later which is very important to stop corrosion.
9. If you have couple of bigger parts instead of several small ones, you can simply utilize angling string and loop them all together. In this way you will have the ability to draw them out conveniently. For little parts I suggest making use of some kind of basket like I did.
You need:.
RIT color in powder type.
Stainless-steel pot, oven, paper towel, aluminium foil as well as something to prevent parts from staying with the bottom of the pot (fishing cable will provide for larger parts).
