Staining PVC

Saw this article on the web and thought it might come in handy for customizing PVC stands and rod holders for your yak.

That's a pretty interesting "How To" article.  I've had some experience with those solvents and even the dyes.  The fumes coming off a project like that will be pretty intense during the brushing on phase.  Those solvents can be harmful but mostly on a low level longterm exposure scenario.  Altho some people can have an adverse reaction just from a hi level short exposure like you'll probably experience doing a project like that.  And don't expect that dye to come off anything it gets on.

Thanks for putting out there.

That's a really cool project. A lot if guys in Hawaii use PVC rod holders. I found some of the conversation below the article helpful.  Thanks

 

  What about using that Ritz dye.  I've dyed small plastic parts on my old RC-10, and helicopter (Remote controlled)
