depends, because with both, there's always that chance of a back fire. solvents are as easily as dangerous as gun powder. a buddy of mine's father had a bag of old fireworks, he picked the bag up and lost some fingers.

anything can go wrong with shit that is explosive.

Meeeehhhh... the charge used in explosives is much different from the gun powder used in reloading.

I'm not sure what you mean by back-fire.

Explosives are as safe as anything else - IF- you're handling them in a safe manner. Everyone on this board has refueled their vehicle at some point? That's about as dangerous as handling explosives.

so, acetone and oil are not of the same? where does acetone come from originally?

because i know with the rise of oil prices, so is paint thinner, gas, acetone and any other petrolleum based solvent.

i know enough about solvents and any oil base product, that it is indeed explosive and flamable.

just cause it hasn't happened, don't mean it can't. same as stained rags, i been in the trade for 13 years, my brothers over 20 something, and we all read the labels, but never believed it because it never happened, then it did.

just being the voice of reason here, buddy. don't get so hurt over it, it clearly shows, you are touched by my statements.

meaning go wrong. not as in back-fire as a gun. back-fire as terminology of a mishap that wasn't planned on.

Anyway, Bob, it's entirely safe if you're smart about it and take some precautions. If you want to know more, let me know.

Thanks Fogger, will-do.

I suppose I could find a crok pot at one of the local thrift stores but it seems like a lot of work to go through to re-color a figure.

What about submerging a figure in acetone for a few minutes and then transfering it to a dye bath? I realize that has the potential to melt the figure, but I've exposed many figures to acetone and none have come even close to melting.

If the acetone's not diluted, you might well melt the figure submerging it. Wiping it down real good first might have the same effect, though. I've never tried that.

To dye my custom figures I put the figure into a large pot. Then I take decaf coffee and fill up a filter. I then pour jet fuel throiugh the filter into the pot. I add some sunlight soap, and flour and turn the burner on. After letting it boil for 20 minutes with the lid on, I then put burning matches on the end of my potato cannon and fire a flaming potato into the pot while a friend quickly pulls the lid off to let it in.
I always do it inside. Works everytime. That's how I added the weathering to my arctic destro figures.
