has anyone ever used RIT white & bright as a dye?
 
http://www.ritdye.com/about.asp ... scroll way to the bottom. The Rit white & bright glows an awesome deep blue color under UV light, and its clear in daylight. much deeper blue than normal UV blue dyes, which is why a dig it. I was just wondering that, short of any wierd pH/corosion effects (which should be taken care of by the redline WW) if there was anything else to worry about.

Yep.

No ill effects from that stuff BigBen? Are you running WW or something else to keep the corrosion/biomass at bay?

And where the hell did you buy it? i've looked all over walmart and can't find the stuff.

Actually, I'm not running it in a loop right now.

Wall-Mart has it, but I think they're trying to switch to the powdre, so it might be a touch difficult to get. Got another Wall-Wart in your area?

Yup, i hit the super walmart but all they had was the powder... however, it yielded something more bluish. I think i may have waay too much stuff in it and i'm going to play with thinning it out a bit.

big bottle is teh RIT powder in solution w\ tapwater

small bottle is the "blue" dye from SVC's $5 special, it's more like aqua. this image is pretty good in terms of color, my camera does well with color... it.

Yep.

The bottle is 8 oz (as you can see ;) ), so maybe that's the concentration that you ought to be after, except that I only needed a few drops in a small glass full of water.

Here's the thread where I posted my results.

Well, the dye was sorta counter intuitive... I put waay too much in the first time w\ the SVC dye and it came out aqua, but when I used it more sparingly, it came out a pleasant blue color. Oops ;)

I'm waiting for some $$$ so i can get some brasso/lysol/pinesol and a metric buttload of distilled water so I can flush my green-corosion incident's leftovers out of my loop.
