Looking to buy some clear/light blue uv dye.

Looking for something that wont fade quickly, that wont stain, that wont bleed....

I heard several people complain that the uv effect wears away within acouple of weeks, but they say tits due to ph levels...
Any adivse?

I suggest going with Mayhem's UV Clear/Blue. I've used it before with great success, it doesn't stain since it isn't technically a dye, and the UV color lasts a long time.

Depending on how dark you want it, 1 bottle will actually make many GALLONS of dyed water.
