Can you dye nylon straps?
Can you dye nylon straps? Even though nylon is a synthetic fiber, it can be dyed using the same acid dyes used on other fibers like wool. Be aware that mixed colors may not produce the same tint as they do on other materials. Contacting your dye supplier and asking for recommendations on specific acid dyes can be helpful.
How do you permanently dye nylon?
Therefore, when nylon absorbs water with a water-soluble dye, it absorbs the water and dye and ends up permanently colored. By heating up some water and adding dye, the dye can easily diffuse into the water, and the combination, when heated, can more easily dissolve into the 3D printed nylon.
