How to dye your TEX acrylic case
« on: Thu, 10 September 2015, 00:50:44 »
I made a post a little while ago asking if anyone had done this, and decided I was going to need to take the bull by the horns and try this myself. Not to toot my own horn but I thought it came out pretty good.
 So here is the album on how to dye your acrylic case:

Turned out really well, congrats. If I wasn't such a scaredy cat, I might consider dying mine!

Hmm.

Since its possible to dye acrylic cases,  I guess you could dye artisan resin keycaps?

I'm sure you can, I know other people here have dyed their caps before. I remember seeing someone use iDye poly to dye their modifiers purple.

EDIT: It looks like it was nubbinator's HHKB actually. So I do not see why resin artisans would be any different.
