Dying Metals?

How do you dye a dv888?

You strip off the anno and re-anno it witch is dangerous if not done correctly

and thats dying?

Yes it is a way…only way i know of

Thats not dying though… thats stripping a yoyo and re-annodizing it.

Yes it is dyeing but HIGHLY DANGEROUS ive seen how they do it at my dads work alot of safety stuff

I doubt that’s dying. That’s reanodizing after stripping the anodization. Don’t you have a special paint or dye?

you dont dye metal. you either paint it or anodize it. I would send it to ibanezcollector if you want it painted, and ricerocket if you want it stripped and ano’d. Or leave it alone if you dont have $50 :stuck_out_tongue:

Last I checked, Chris Rice doesn’t anno yoyos.

yep
venndetas (i know that is spelled wrong) is good though

Anodizing with color is most definitely dying. It chemically interacts with the surface and imparts the color into the surface layer. While the process is different when dyeing a plastic yoyo, the dye still only attaches to the surface. Using acetone as an enhancer in the dye causes a surface reaction as well. Same result - surface color change.

And also not taking jobs

You just love to throw cold water on dreams Q lol

When you Annodize, you use DYE :slight_smile:

It’s my version of verb. It’s what I do

With a battery charger, sulfuric acid, and rit dye?

Wow… one wrong move with that and you may dye :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

Wow I’m gonna remember that for when I want to er “Cold Water” someones dreams or what not. I just “Q’d” somebody. That could be my new favorite verb.

I want a pony. No hays to expensive, and you just got Q’d homie.

Oh and redoing the ano is not Dyeing a yoyo. Be careful with the sulfuric acid. (If you are under the age of 12 you may need adult supervision) ;D ;D ;D.

One last thing I love that line. It works for everything. Now kids this next step involves weapons grade plutonium. This is very dangerous, and should not be handled with out adult supervision.

I want to get my yoyo anodized so bad now! I’d get it the same color as the black/blue acid washed RecRev ED.

Ok time for school.

Anodizing: Aluminum is immersed in a tank containing an electrolyte having a 15% sulfuric acid concentration. Electric current is passed through the electrolyte and the aluminum is made the anode in this electrolytic cell; the tank is the cathode. Voltage applied across the anode and cathode causes negatively charged anions to migrate to the anode where the oxygen in the anions combines with the aluminum to form aluminum oxide (Al2O3).

Coloring: Anodic films are well suited to a variety of coloring methods including absorptive dyeing, both organic and inorganic dyestuffs, and electrolytic coloring, both the Sandocolor® and Anolok® processes.

Anodic films are what get’s dyed. The yoyo is anoed (covered in anodic films) then those films are dyed.
