RiT dye rather than paint

[Super]

I have been watching quit a few dying plastic videos and some suggestions were after boiling the water you need to bring the temperature down to between 140 & 150 degrees for thinner plastic to keep it from warping. Since water boils a 212 degrees at sea level the temperature drop must be important. I have also seen suggestions that you dip your item in for a while, remove it, rinse it off, and redip. You keep doing it until the desired color is achieved. There was also a video using a product they got from Joann Fabric called iDye Poly which is supposed to be good for plastics.
