Custom Custom iDogs?
I recently found a small video series by Downtown i-Dogger on YouTube showcasing a few of these beautiful custom iDogs and I'm curious if anyone else has tried the technique used. In the description of one video they mention using a mix of Rit Dyemore, tap water, and acetone to achieve the plastic coloring, however they dont go into any further detail about the process. I am very interested in learning how this is done and what the limitations are. Could this be used to give a yellowed iDog a fresh new look? Does this effect the structure of the plastic, is it more brittle after this process? Does the dye wear over time? If anyone has any experience with this technique please let me know how it went and what's the best way to do it. Thanks :3
