Title: Dyed my ReelMagik basic packer (pictures!)
Post by: Transmatter on March 14, 2015, 08:11:05 AM
Hey guys! I've ordered a basic packer a while ago, got it today.
I immediately ran upstairs with the package (no pun intended) and took it out. The basic packer looks great, way better than most packers out there.
Quality wise too.. But something was missing, color! So I've dyed it, what do you guys think?

I used "water make-up pure" it's more like face paint.
Colors: White purple and brown (I would recommend purple red though)

P.S this isn't permanent unfortunately.

Nice! It looks way more realistic this way. Too bad the color won't be permanent..

It looks great. I wonder if you can spray some art fixative over it and make it permanent

I was going to be really down on this because it is mostly quite toxic stuff. However, you might look for something called SpectraFix. It's casein based (milk plastic) and also in a hand pump. (Dick Blick sells this). Don't know if it would work for this but it's an idea.

BTW, I think it looks really nice.

Thanks guy :) I've worn it for a day non-stop and it doesn't seem to wear of yet, I wonder how long it'll last.

Use this, guys.  It's an actual medical-grade sealing kit from a well-reviewed prosthetics supply company.
