Ive tried it before with no luck. The cutting board is a different type of plastic thats made not to absorb liquids or smells, etc. I tried to dye a white one black, and it barely made it a light purple shade - hardly even noticeable. |

i'm gonna try the acid content in vinegar to see if that will work with the cutting board to see if it will take the dye....i'm using orange to match the color scheme on my tigress so it won't be like white to black, even if it comes out a light orange it'll be better then the white....i'll have my report by tommrrow night.......bob .... |

Get some white Delrin, it's takes rit dye pretty well. I've seen some Delrin chassis and wheel's dyed all sorts of colors.
