Members alyssaflorence Posted August 8, 2014 Members Report Posted August 8, 2014 I'm looking for a purple dye, but the color swatch for the fieblings dark purple is quite dark. Has anyone used purple dye and do you have pictures of a finished product so I can see how the color turned out? Quote
Members Sylvia Posted August 8, 2014 Members Report Posted August 8, 2014 Try Angelus dies. Quote A teacher pointed at me with a ruler and said "At the end of this ruler is an idiot." I got detention when I asked "Which end?"
Members TomG Posted August 8, 2014 Members Report Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) This was done with Fiebings Oil Dye diluted 4:1 with denatured alcohol. The lettering was resisted with 3 coats of 100% Resolene. It looked good but it did have some spots that the dye didn't seem to penetrate well. Probably from being heavily diluted.

dirtclod Posted August 8, 2014 Report Posted August 8, 2014 I agree with Sylvia get some Angelus dye it's the best i have used. You can get it at Turtle Feathers and they ship it quick. I mix 50 / 50 with denatured alcohol and it works fine, alot better than Febings and i use it for years but no more !! Quote I'm old enough to know that i don't know everything.
