What's a good dye to water ratio? I've done this with clothes, but had crappy results when I tried it on figures before. Any tips? I'm using the liquid dye that comes in the curvy white bottles.

I tend to use about a 1:1 ratio. I have a nice pan/strainer setup that works well with 2 bottles of dye to 2 bottles of water.

Do you use a metal strainer? Will that damage the plastic (burn a mesh pattern into them?)
I will totally do a tutorial on this, NO ONE has told me their ratio they use so I appreciate the response! |

Yeah, I use a mesh metal strainer. It doesn't cause any issues, as long as you agitate now and then to keep the parts moving around. Thanks Konigstiger, I couldn't remember where that link was. It contains good info.

Cool, I found my old non-stick pot and just chucked everything in there, 30 minutes later and no warping or anything.
I'm rinsing the parts to see what needs to be dyed some more, I think I'll go at it for another 30 minutes. |
