A while ago a couple people where asking around about Orange UV reactive water dye.

I promised to post some pics when my Orange Criticool Wildfire dye arrived, so here they are!

The first picture is of a cup of distilled water, with a Q-Tip soaked in the dye dipped in it. I stirred up the water with the Q-tip, and then turned on a UV light Cathode, and turned off the room lights.

The colour qualty is pretty bad, and the dye looks a bit yellowish in the picture - in comparison the UV reactive sleeving also in the picture glows a bright orange under UV (and also looks yellowish in the picture) - the dye looks a lot nicer, and more Orange in real life :)

Below is the uploaded image:

This second picture is of the same cup of water with the lights on. Peculiar, but this dye makes the water turn a pinkish red colour.

If yiu use Dexcool antifreeze (Orange in colour) the pinkishness doesn't come through (with about 10% Dexcool in the water, with about a Q-tip worth of dye in each up of water) though, so it isn't too big of a problem.

This stuff looks nice, and I can't wait to get it into my vircuit, when I get around to putting it back together ;)

If you want Glowy Orange water, this tuff is a good deal for the cost.

www.criticool.com is where I got it.

I totally have to agree. I go to criticool or Detek for everything. I have found Danny at Detek to be pretty cool too, but where Criticool ships from is a stones throw from me and all my packages get here overnight so I go to them more often. Hey even if they didn't I would still be a return customer!
