...and sometimes you're the bug.
The point of dyeing rather than painting is that it won't rub off, so you can color on pieces that would otherwise scrape paint. But the plastic used for TF:A Legends Bumblebee is very non-porous, the above is the result of 72 hours or so of soaking. I tried cranking up the heat to a near boil to see if that'd help, but it ended up warping the plastic so badly that it can't transform anymore. I may try salvaging it as an "actionmaster" sort later, but for now it goes in the Fail Bin.

These questions come because I am planning a dye project myself. Was that blue or green dye? Did you manually strip the paint first? Did you use acetone?
