Used to read about adding a tint to canopies and thought I'd try it.
Followed the how to from an old article in Flying Models.
Used Royal Blue Ritt dye.
Hot water, used the whole package.
The canopy got a light spotty tint.
After a few motor runs, most of it has wiped off.
Any success stories out there for this technique?

My Extra is done with Rit Dye.
5 gallon bucket, tap water hot as it comes out of the tap, few cups of salt, blue and black rit dye (whole packages). Clean the canopy very well, no finger prints. Submerged mine for 20 minutes, I lifted it out with a stick every few minutes to check for the right tint.
The results were awesome, the tint is perfectly even and has stayed on fine.
