Can you Dye a yo-yo (BigYo) with the Axle in?

It is stuck and won’t come out…

Thanks,

Hhhmmm?  
Never though about it, I don’t think so, though. It would probably strip the axle.

Stripping the axle means to wreck the threading in such away, that it is  
no longer aligned well and therefore won’t screw in to the nut. Dying won’t do this.  
I dyed my Slik with the axle in. The dye powder settled on the axle, turning it orange,  
but that was all.
