Is it possible to dye the case of an AT Model F?
« on: Sun, 15 December 2013, 13:24:51 »
I know the plastic is a bit different than that of an M (which as far as I know cannot be effectively dyed), curious if it is possible on an AT F.

Please give it a try and let us know.

My guess is that if there were any nicks in the "skin" layer, that the glossy core material would take dye differently.

So now we’ve just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election’s over.”
