RIT DYING SCALES STEP BY STEP WALK THROUGH

Follow Me on Instagram @Molow_Da_Bull
As a result of posting my Civivi Durus, Ferrum Forge Mini Archie, as well as the Mini Glimpse by Reate all with DIY paint jobs. My messages instantly amassed with questions on where, or how did I get these colors schemes on my scales. I decided, what better way could I explain my methods then to put together a short Rit Dye segment for the people with questions, as well as for those wanting to try and customize their scales themselves at home. The , Step by step walk through of my method used to achieve the color you want on your Knife scales, in a DIY fashion!! #TheFullerFanatic #metalcomplex #knifecenter #bladehq

The snap of that artisan cutlery wharncliffe knife is epic

[@jtarkov1398]

Damn, your eloquence in speaking and crystal clear explanation earned a sub! Thanks for the video

[@snowhusk]

Damn, that's the most concise video on this topic I've ever seen, kudos to you, man!

[@THEFULLERFANATIC]

After watching a bunch off dye vids and always feeling like something was left out, I figured I would put a quick step by step vid together about all the aspects of dye jobs

[@Art_Vark_and_Rock]

I’m about to do my first dye job, been watching lots of vids and yours was one of the best I’ve seen…you rock dude…!!!

[@THEFULLERFANATIC]

Thanks for the kind words!!! and for watching

[@esrguzman]

Fantastic tutorial. Quick, straight to the point, good/clear voice, and knowledgeable. In only 4:46 minutes I got way more instructions, images and reason-why than what many KZbinrs give you after half an hour yapping and trying to sound cool behind the camera. Thank you.

[@dustinwhitt5297]

This is an absolutely elegant explanation on how to dye scales. This deserves so many more views! You got a sub from me, bro.

[@ak967]

Dude you had me laughing about same screws in the holes they came out of! We are the same. It matters!

[@markcardwell8212]

I'll add to the general aura of accolade you are receiving here. This is such a well produced and informative video. Thanks for preventing a couple of mistakes I was about to make!

[@THEFULLERFANATIC]

Thanks for watching, and that is the entire reason I put this together so I honestly appreciate the comment it def means the world 2 me!!!

[@billthibault107]

I've watched a few videos on how to do this over the last week or two, I'm only 1:33 into this one and I can already tell it's the best one I've found so far! Informative! Straight to the point and no BS filler; just clear instructions and excellent results 👍👍

[@THEFULLERFANATIC]

Great video! Thank you!

[@THEFULLERFANATIC]

No worries @ all.. glad to share the info... not long ago I sat at the house with a bottle of Rit Dye and no clue as to the steps, so I just try to help others bypass the unknown Lol..

[@Mntoyaz]

[@THEFULLERFANATIC]

[@lgen626]

Awesome video. thank you for posting!

[@THEFULLERFANATIC]

Appreciate that... thanks for watching I know its kinda lengthy..

[@panchovilla939]

how long did you dye the Spyderco for? I want to dye my para 3s digi camo scales to a dark grey or black but would like for the camo pattern to still show through

[@Louidje]

Amazing work. Clear, neat, and well presented ! I'll use this to dye my next knife. Thank you so much...

[@THEFULLERFANATIC]

Thanks for watching, thats what the channel is about just trying to pass along good info we can all use to make our builds.. "OURS" lol

[@voskee28]

High quality tutorial 👌. Subbed.

[@awony1]

How long did you keep your digicamo spyderco scales in for I want to still see the pattern thank you

[@THEFULLERFANATIC]

About 7 mins or so but not long at all, the color will appear darker @ first, but let it swing over the steam for a sec and reveal it's true tint then proceed from there, I would start pulling at about 5mins just so you don't go past the color you want to achieve

[@JV-lt3nl]

Thanks a bunch for such a detailed and informative video! Tried this out and loved the outcome. Keep on killing it with the content!

[@THEFULLERFANATIC]

Thank you, for watching and the awesome comment, more vids like this one will b e dropping shortly, blade grinds, hand rub blade finishes, and anodizing very soon I promise!!

[@alankaiser3806]

Awesome video! I appreciate how detailed you were.

[@THEFULLERFANATIC]

Thanks, yeah so many people inquired so I figured just make a complete vid to follow step by step!

[@fordguy8613]

Great video! Very informative....nice knives btw

[@benjaminpoirier9139]

First time viewer, excellent video!

[@THEFULLERFANATIC]

thank you for watching, hope you like the content and return again!!!

[@macnitro902]

Seening your spyderco makes me want to do mine

[@THEFULLERFANATIC]

Tha Para 3 was my 1st real folding knife. Love that thing

[@bakpakb]

Great video dude... Very informative. Thanks 👍

[@THEFULLERFANATIC]

Thanks, a bunch of people asked me about the Civivi Durus, Mini Archie, & the Reate M.G., I figured I rather just show everyone then explain a bunch of times and it still not be clear.

[@_THUMPR_]

Awesome video. I'll have to try the acetone steps on my benchmades. I've been able to get them to take dye but only after soaking in bleach for 30 minutes.

[@jeremyspaulding7735]

Awesome how to definitely always wondered about this thanks for sharing your process

[@THEFULLERFANATIC]

Thanks for the comment, and making the vid for people needing to know like yourself is what I did it for.. Not so long ago I wanted to know and most videos don't tell every little step and how to manipulate the colors

[@bmoviebmovie]

Bet you could do a gorgeous video with either the Proponent or large Bull Mastiff in the kitchen cutting up red and green peppers, scallions, cherry tomatoes, baby carrots and wagyu beef slices. I can just hear the blade snap shut while that fry pan sizzles and smokes in the background!

[@jtcaruanafan4617]

Quality. Thank you.

[@joebreeding449]

Great video thinking about doing my civivi Praxis it's blue now I like the wine / burgundy look..

[@paulquinn4704]

Thank for the very informative & indepth tutorial on dying scales, , do you know if this method would be suitable to use on a white bone scaled knife ?

[@SergeyKasimov]

Bigger question do you use that plate to cook dinner

[@THEFULLERFANATIC]

there was no plate in the video LMAO!!!

[@lousnaps]

Dope video bro. Nice color....

[@THEFULLERFANATIC]

Thanks, just trying to add a personal touch and make them different from the rest out there.

[@kwrench1]

Solid video! That Proponent turned out so dope! Is that Rit Dye Synthetic Racing Red?

[@mainlyoctober]

Absolutely fantastic video with a great explanation man. Earned a sub with me!

[@THEFULLERFANATIC]

Thank you!!! appreciate the sub!!!

[@breavis5694]

Awesome video fanatic.... I just bought a blue prolix that was said to be tuned by you. Is this the case? Did you mod and blue dye a prolix?

[@THEFULLERFANATIC]

its on the way brotha, Sapphire Blue and tuned up yessir!!

[@breavis5694]

@@THEFULLERFANATIC thank you, i can't wait.... Was that you i bought it from???

[@MailmanDownEDC]

Outstanding video!!! I have dyed a few G10 scales already. Mostly using Rit Dye More Racing Red and Sapphire Blue. I have a set of Spyderco Para 3 digicamo G10 scales that I wanted to dye using Rit Dye More Graphite to make them look like a black and grey urban camo. I used 3 cups distilled water, 1 cup distilled white vinegar and about 1/4 bottle of the RDM Graphite. Heated up to around 200 degrees and placed the scales in the mixture for about 30 seconds. Took them out, washed/cleaned them and they are dark brown. Wish I could post a pic here of them. Any helpful tips on how I can achieve a black and grey urban camo look? Thanks.

[@100dunkster]

Great tutorial thank you sir.

[@THEFULLERFANATIC]

No worries, I had to watch so many different vids to try and figure it out. Then, I decided to put one out that touched on the entire process from start to finish, so everyone can join in on the fun!!

[@LiongMahDesign]

Cool

[@EvilNick81]

Can you dye scales that are already black ?

[@frankcostanzo8391]

Btw, acetone and nitrile gloves don't mix. Acetone eats right through them and has a breakthrough time of only 4 minutes for 10 mil thick gloves (obviously shorter for thinner ones). Latex works well, but causes allergic reactions in some people. Butyl rubber is the best glove material for handling acetone as a solvent, but it is a little harder to come by and more expensive than latex. Just my .02

[@thomasgilbert9347]

Thanks for the information

[@mytopicsopinions2840]

What would be a good color my knife handle is orange.. and I suck at being creative with colors

[@THEFULLERFANATIC]

Blue, the original underlying color tone will play a role in the final color hue from the dye, so keep that in mind as well

[@mrcheesefood1]

I usually see people use vinegar but notice you didn't. Does the process really need water? Hypothetically could you use straight rit dye for an even more vibrant color?

[@THEFULLERFANATIC]

you can use whatever works for you, there is no set process, but using straight rit would make the color so dark it would look black, if its a darker color such as blue, purple, etc. idk what would happen with lighter colors such as yellow??

[@55brutus84]

Can you bleach the color out of scales??

[@scottconnors8419]

Ever dye black scales for a lighter color?...have nice flipper don't care fkr black scales...thn x for information...

[@THEFULLERFANATIC]

Yes.. I've dyed my black full size glimpse to a red color and then to a darker blue... I used boiling water and let the scales soak for a long while...

[@petersirangelo2867]

What kind of rit dye did you use?

[@THEFULLERFANATIC]

Rit Dye/ never synthetic though.. it doesn't take as well 4 some reason.?.?

[@petersirangelo2867]

@@THEFULLERFANATIC interesting. I asked because some KZbinrs said to only use synthetic rit dye

[@E2005-c4j]

What is the name of the one that started with grey scales

[@THEFULLERFANATIC]

That one is called a Civi Durus, its a badass knife, just wish it had a fuller.

[@bmoviebmovie]

"YANKEES"!!!! ....like in New York Yankees? You a New Yorker? "Civivi", "Artisan Cutlery"? You have knives that don't say "Liong Mah", "Reate" and "We"on them? Outside of my sarcasm, that metal hanger trick is probably the coolest and most "trick" part of this video.

[@thenicpaasch]

Acetone?!?!?and it didn’t start to dissolve/melt the plastic????

[@THEFULLERFANATIC]

depends on the material and the acetone's strength... a Pilar III's g10 would probably disintegrate into oblivion, but not a Para3 or steel craft would take a while 4 sure. Ive left my civivi odium scales in pure acetone for like 30mins no problem
