Avedis Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 can you post up a link to the black insert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ming the Merciless Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 You can dye the white insert using RIT laundry dye. Heat a pot of water to boiling, add the dye and reduce the heat to just barely keep the water boiling and submerge the insert for about 2 minutes, check the color, if too light put it back for a couple more minutes, repeat as necessary. For more information check the RC model forums, ignore the advice about using Acetone, salt, etc... Hot water works just fine! We have dyed Acetal (Delrin) many times using this method for various projects at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novock Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 can you post up a link to the black insert? Matt Cheely told me about the Black one. It is what they are putting in my Pistol CK Arms is building. Not sure where to find a link, but Matt or Bobby could probably get you taken care of.
