Dye Lite substitute

I was wondereing, could you just empty a highliter into your system? I put some in a liquor bottle, and it glows well under a black light. Does it ruin thermal transfer of somthing. If not, it seems like a cheap and easy alternative.

never heard of that before, but high lighters are cheap, and come in a lot of colours. I doubt they'd affect things too much, the percentage of high lighter to water would be very small

I think I'll run some tests and lt you guys know. I made 2 750ml bottles glow brghtly with a partly used small highliter. If this works, no one will have to pay $15 for dyelite

It's been done before, it seems to work.

Hi-liters look really rad in neon light

. We have all these hard alcohol bottles around our suite on the mantle, filled w/ hi-liter fluid and water. There's a black ligth behind them and they look awesome.

They are too high for drunkards to reach. If they use a stepping stool, well then that's just so much motivation... no point in stopping them...
