i recently purchased a pansh ace and pansh lines fro a seller on here i am used to my hq lines that are blue and read so i can tell them apart
do u think i could use rit dye to dye them blue? and red do you think it will weaken them?B-Roc - 11-9-2010 at 09:17 AM
I wouldn't die them. If you fly in the snow or at the beach or the lines get damp or wet you stand a good chance of the die bleeding off the lines
into your sail or bag and that won't be pretty. Just mark your handles or your leaders and use that to tell right from left. Youd don't need
color-coded lines. All my LPG lines are white (left, right, brakes) its not that confusing once the lines are sorted and the kite launched.indigo_wolf - 11-9-2010 at 09:19 AM
Shouldn't weaken them, but you might find that they run later on.... possible staining your kites.
Factory dying is much more fade/run-resistant.
I fly both colored lines with power kites and white lines with dual lines and Revs.
Aren't the lines sleeved in different colors?

Spectra is a HMW polyethylene. The dye probably will not penetrate the fibres as it would a non-synthetic like cotton. For coloured lines they
colour the raw material and then draw the fibres.

oh okay and the sleeving is okay but the brakes are green and power is red but when there is a tangle is hard to sortWELDNGOD - 12-9-2010 at 12:23 AM

I have used Sharpie felt marker on lines without issue ? Not for colour but small marks for stopper balls etc..
I think you are talking Pansh lines so I think green for brake is correct ? At least my Pansh lines came that way ? As you know, your heavier /
stronger lines go on the front. No matter the colour.
If they are Pansh lines you don't have to dye them they are " dead " already ! :smug:airin - 12-9-2010 at 06:38 PM
