toadfrog Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 All colored coatings will come off hooks ect . Just go to a machinest supply and get some red chem-dye . Run the split rings on a string dip them in the dye then stretch the string horizonally seperate the rings with a knife blade let dry . I would clean the rings in vinegar first to remove oils and put something down for drips . Chem dye will not come out of clothes leather ect.

dochollow Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 MSC.com and also Mc MasterCarr have metal dye also called Dykem lots of colors sm bottles spray cans and also gal.for the big job. having been a tool & die maker for 30+ years, "dykem" is no way a permanet dye for steel. it is used to mark metal for cutting, drilling, sawing etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
