coloring G-10 and/or micarta

[Ben Dover]

Is there a practical way to color these type scales????

TIA!

The color is infused into the material before it is laminated. You can't change it, as the material will no longer absorb.

Thanks, Bill. :thumbup:

some micarta can be died only if its the cheaper less compressed stuff though.

There is always paint, which is less durable but it will stick fine if the surface is finely abraded.

RIT fabric dye has been used successfully on G10...unfortunately you can only dye to darker colours IIRC

This isn't really relevant but there was a huge thread on RIT DYED FRN Spydercos with the white FRN. They came out pretty sweet. I'll post the link if I can find it.
