Getting black Plarail couplings through buying trains is too few and far between for my needs as I have used hundreds. I have sourced through a seller that owns an injection mold company who makes them and I have bought literally a few hundred of them. Which reminds me that I should order more as my stock is down to about 50 sets and I am always worried that he will stop offering them and I don't want to run out for the future world purchases.

About the recipes for mixing colors they have mixes for you to attain dozens of different variations to match the color you may need. What is odd is that a pure black is not available which I would think is in every color pallet. Yes, its weird to me that Racing Red and Sapphire Blue is part of the mix to make black.

Will be interesting to hear your test results using a different product. That iDyePoly seems to have a similar instruction that its the heat and time as the key step but I am wondering that because they state to bring the water to a boil and keep it there for 30 to 60 minutes may be too hot for the plastic but your test results will prove that right or wrong.

I can't remember what member here at BPT's that tried to dye a Thomas or some other trains shell a different color with heat and the body warped a bit. One thing I liked about the Dye More is that its liquid and they have formulas for how much to use for different sized items so you don't use a whole pouch for one dye batch.
