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.

"We are on the precipice of signing an agreement to advance talks with Iran that preserves the good parts of former President Barack Obama’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) while amplifying its flaws.
Mr. Obama came to an agreement that did not involve America’s most precious treasure, the lives and limbs of our soldiers.  The 1.7 billion dollars of frozen Iranian assets released by Obama pales in comparison to the 300 billion being floated as a rebuilding fund.
So far, speculation that Iran will be free in the future to continue its nuclear program is the opposite of Trump’s stated goal for the war and in direct opposition to what Mr. Obama negotiated."
