Quick question. Did you remove the sponge lining from around the lense framesn before dying or did you chuck the lot in the bucket?

I chucked the whole thing in and then rinsed it a lot afterwards until the water came out clear.
The dye shouldn't sweat off otherwise you'd turn green if you dyed a Tshirt.

On a related note, this can also be done to dye the rubber part of grillz (if you have the white set)

I've experimented this morning with an old set of profilers and i3's, The profilers took on a slight hint of the colour as did the i3's faceplate. So I imagine you can do subtle colour changes on those but not major ones.

The clear lense frame of the i3's has gone a nice transulcent dark green. (and the foam fell off)

It seems the proflexes are just made out of the right material for the dye to work on as this also works on flex 8's and flex 7's
If someone wants to donate old or broken flex parts, I will try out some of the other fade and masking techniques for the guide.

does any one know if you could use this method on a white empire events? or is it a defferent type of material

I know its a bit of an old thread, But il have just dyed a set of stained up white hb proflex's useing the directions from Andy, they came out perfect and will post a picture once they have dried.
