I've had great success with the powder until I tried to dye up a Wave 2 Retaliation Roadblock, there was hardly any change at all. So the nylon formula has changed...not sure how but dye doesn't work on the retaliation figures I've tried.

If you heat up the water/dye solution not quite boiling but close and you will have to experiment with how long to leave or in there depending on the type of plastic material you are trying to dye ...

Worked great on my custom future soldier i'm working on. The knees, legs and feet are from retaliation wave 1 storm shadow(which are white mind you). Trick is to have the mix simmer. you want it to steam but not boil. The plastic wont take the dye if its not hot enough. It took a good hour, two packs of powder mix, patience, very little water and it's best you have other things you wanna dye in the same batch so it doesn't go to waste.
NOTE: (for best results when submerging parts) take the figure apart as much as you can. Take a blow dryer or boiling water to the figure and pop the joints out carefully. With the knees you need to pop the pin out from the knee in the calves from outside to inside the knee. With the ball hinge joints, you'll need to have the peg all the way to one end of the joint and then rotate the peg all the way to the other end again half way through dying the parts. Just in case your getting ideas, it won't dye paint too well. |

I think Zap played around with this. Search his threads on this.
