Permanently Dye a White Silicone Sleeve?

[Territoo]

Yeah, hair color is one of the things I will try in one of my next dye jobs. Only used the Rit fabric dye because I happened to have it.

I noticed in the picture how black she managed to get the pieces, rather than a dark gray. I just hope the smell of hair dye doesn't stick, cuz that stinks too.

I don't have much experience with hair dye so I have no idea what it smells like. lol

Rit has no smell to me, except like I said for some reason it makes silicone smell like rubber, you know, like a tire.

I was wrong. It is the Rit dye that smells like rubber. Could have sworn it was ordorless.

Well I took the mod with the sleeve on it outside to do some yard work and the vinegar smell seems to be gone. Now it smells like dirt and grass clippings because of my gloves.

Time for another washing.

Every now and then my wife used to dye her hair. The stuff she used stunk up the whole house. It had a very foul stench to it. She even roped me into helping her a couple times.

It's bad.

Sucks to hear. I may not use it now, or I might buy a cheap bottle and try it on an old sleeve and see how hard it is to remove the stench. Not sure.

My guess is the odor will wash away like it does on hair. They wouldn't be able to sell the stuff if the smell lingered for more than a day. Read the article and see what it has to say about the odor.

Just an FYI. A cold dye job with Rit (for fabric) isn't the way to go. It wears away rather quickly. I can easily see the color fading on the fire button and around the back of the mod where my fingers wrap around the mod.

So I'm going to try using heat the next time but I don't think I'm going to even bother with the Rit for fabric. Will probably try the Rit for synthetics as well as hair dye. But I don't know when.

What mod is the sleeve for? There are a lot of multicolored silicone sleeves available on Amazon. I found one there for my pico.

Thanks but I want to see if I can dye what I have first. Besides, that's almost what I paid for the mod I have to get my .... to goodwill to see if I can find a small-ish saucepan.

you could always wrap it in like an adhesive shelf liner cut to size

I did that with a lot of my older mods...made my own "wrap" for them
