Another quick picture with some gray diffused lenses. Still gotta dye some clear ones blue. Hopefully tomorrow.

I just cut a little piece of vellum and put it inside the lens. I have some blue vellum on the way so it'll hopefully look even better.

Can't wait to see how that turns out DL!

ontheDL Sun Apr 21, 2013 10:59 pm

Not working too well and I have no idea why. I made it super concentrated and it's still not working.

Been in for over an hour and it's only supposed to take a few minutes. I'm ready to put them in some straight up dye.

is that rit?

ontheDL Mon Apr 22, 2013 1:45 am

Yeah. It didn't work : /

Barely held any color even after 10 minutes in straight dye. Maybe it's the type of plastic? There's a tutorial on their website showing the process of dying buttons. I can't imagine the materials are that different from each other... Who knows. I found some translucent spray paint online so I guess I'll give that a shot.

itsa_mia Mon Apr 22, 2013 2:21 am

ive never used the stuff but ive seen it on the web too
weird it wouldnt take although i didnt really understand how it could dye hard plastic in the first place
but thats whats its advertised to do i think
hope u have better luck with the spray

ictoys Mon Apr 22, 2013 1:40 pm

what's a vellum? will spraying the lens with those frost paint in hardware stores work?

CankleBreaker Mon Apr 22, 2013 7:22 pm

Why does it seem like NUUK is getting so much more love than BYO?

Have you tried this, or is this vellum? http://www.midwestprosoundandlighting.com/pro-lighting/stage-lighting/american-dj-z-progel-sh-color-gel-sheets/

ontheDL Wed Apr 24, 2013 6:48 am

That looks different. It seems like it might be a little too thick. I have a couple different shades of blue vellum on the way and I'm waiting on the blue spray paint too.

After spending many-an-hour trying to get the batteries IN, I finally did it, after getting the currents wrong. Although the battery cover is so loose it doesn't stay in, anyone know why?
