Polypropylene or Cellophane

Post by: Leglifter on February 05, 2009, 11:06:02 AM: I wouldn't drink either one

Post by: muttbuster on February 05, 2009, 11:08:33 AM: I like it with a little salt and pepper. Sometimes it's pretty tough so make sure you chew it at least 12 times.

Post by: Leglifter on February 05, 2009, 11:11:37 AM: Seriously though
you are looking to get your lense red, right?
Title: Re: POLYPROPYLENE or CELLOPHANE
Post by: muttbuster on February 05, 2009, 11:14:40 AM: I guess it depends on how hot your light gets. Won't cellophane melt?

Post by: Leglifter on February 05, 2009, 11:16:29 AM: I have Dykem, 12 bucks for 8 oz
should last a life time
Title: Re: POLYPROPYLENE or CELLOPHANE
Post by: muttbuster on February 05, 2009, 11:17:50 AM: What is Dykem? Is that like paint?
Title: Re: POLYPROPYLENE or CELLOPHANE
Post by: Leglifter on February 05, 2009, 11:19:44 AM: Its layout ink,
it smells like nail polish(leave it alone BP)
and can be removed with nail polish remover
2 coats is perfect
Title: Re: POLYPROPYLENE or CELLOPHANE
Post by: muttbuster on February 05, 2009, 11:21:39 AM: Where can I buy some? Is it permanent? Can it be removed and is red the only color available?

It is removable with polish remover but I don't know what the remover would do to the lense

Title: Re: POLYPROPYLENE or CELLOPHANE
Post by: muttbuster on February 05, 2009, 11:31:20 AM: Have you ever compared it to the red plastic lense sold for night hunting? How transparent is it. Does it let more light threw.
Title: Re: POLYPROPYLENE or CELLOPHANE
Post by: Leglifter on February 05, 2009, 11:34:57 AM: Its just as good if not better
its more of a clear dye and does let more light through
and if it gets scratched or dulled up you can remove it and apply new
Title: Re: POLYPROPYLENE or CELLOPHANE
Post by: muttbuster on February 05, 2009, 11:41:38 AM: Thanks for the link. I think I will try some. I wish I'd have known about it sooner. Could have saved lots of money.
Title: Re: POLYPROPYLENE or CELLOPHANE
Post by: bigben on February 05, 2009, 11:42:51 AM: I little tip. paint the inside of the lense so it does not get scratched.
Title: Re: POLYPROPYLENE or CELLOPHANE
Post by: Leglifter on February 05, 2009, 11:43:48 AM: Yeah you could get some lexan, cut it the size you want and paint that too

Good tip Ben!!

Post by: bigben on February 05, 2009, 11:53:03 AM: make sure it is not the opaque color red. that is kinda milky looking instead of drying clear.
Title: Re: POLYPROPYLENE or CELLOPHANE
Post by: predator77 on February 05, 2009, 11:56:23 AM: I bought that red basket wrapping paper I heard mention on here and it makes my light look purple. I don't use it.
Title: Re: POLYPROPYLENE or CELLOPHANE
Post by: Leglifter on February 05, 2009, 11:59:04 AM: Dykem is THE stuff
Title: Re: POLYPROPYLENE or CELLOPHANE
Post by: Trophiesonly on February 05, 2009, 02:43:42 PM: i use dj paper,the dykem isnt dark enough i dont think.It will take all the heat you throw at it.And if you dont like it,itcomes off.I couldnt get the dykem off.Even with fingernail polish.
Title: Re: POLYPROPYLENE or CELLOPHANE
Post by: CoyoteJeff on February 05, 2009, 02:52:27 PM: Never tried the dykum but the best red Cellophane I found is to keep the cellophane from the candy you give your loved 1 on Valintines day. It has a nice dark deep red color to it. And your killing 2 birds with 1 stone your making your sweetie happy and getting enough cellophane to cover your lights.
Title: Re: POLYPROPYLENE or CELLOPHANE
Post by: Trophiesonly on February 05, 2009, 02:55:13 PM: the dj paper is just a hair darker than the dark red valentines paper,the pink paper in a roll is not red enough.
Title: Re: POLYPROPYLENE or CELLOPHANE
Post by: CoyoteJeff on February 05, 2009, 03:02:06 PM: TROPHIESONLY I agree with the roll not being dark enough I tried it and it makes your light look pink to me not red. Can the animals tell I don't know since I didn't use it.

I used the red paper with no problem. Use 2 layers.
