I live in the UK and in desparate need of a yellow hose and a connector for my uniform before halloween. If anyone knows of any stockists that will ship worldwide online then please reply. Or if AJ is reading when will they be stocked?
You can get plastic hose from hardware stores. its dead cheap too.
then dye it using yellow dye. theres a special way to dye plastic, I think you boil it in hot water
I’m gonna be doing this on monday. will tell you how it works out ![]()
so that’s how it’s done. went to Lowes and they didn’t have anything similar so just picked up clear, and now I know what to do. I’ll wait to see how yours comes out first, but Thanks
I used the same method, I left the hose in a dye bath for 24 hrs.
What you want to do is boil the water you are going to use for the dye. Once it is boiled pour it into the container you are going to let your hose soke in, add your dye (Rit Golden Yellow) and mix it up.
Now get yourself some rubber gloves and place your tubing in the dye. The rubber gloves should be the dish washing kind to keep your hands protected from the hot water as you handle the tubing. You are going to want to get all the air out of the tubing so that the entire thing is exposed to the dye inside and out. It can take a while to get all the air out but it is worth it.
The hot water softens the tubing and allows it to take the dye better. Allow it to cool naturally, you don’t need to keep it hot the whole time. After a day or so, you have a GB1 style yellow hose.
This was the result.
