RIT makes fabric dyes.The results are inconsistent on plastic. You can find RIT dyes at Walmart near the fabric softners

Dont forget to check a "cobbler" or shoe repair store, I know they have really awesome dyes for leather. G/L

I'm actually using a plastic dye that seems to soak real well into the softer stuff. It's suppose to be added during the actual casting, but it's working well enough by boiling too. Alumilite.
