CarverGLX Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) How do you fade living rubber? It fades on it's own with prolonged UV exposure but I'm looking for something faster. No, I don't know anyone with a tanning bed. Haha. Bleach? Bleach may dry it out but not a big deal as they are just for me.

mark poulson Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Have you tried a UV finger nail polish light? http://www.ebay.com/sch/Nail-Dryers-UV-LED-Lamps/67653/bn_223831/i.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarverGLX Posted November 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 No but that would be a much cheaper option. Thanks for the idea. Follow up. Bleach, at least in the short run I have tried it, doesn't work. I have noticed no change. It seems the living rubber is dyed then extruded and a consistent color throughout... Should have noticed the tips. Bleach doesn't penetrate (polar/non polar medium/lack of solvent) no effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
