Default Looking for Blue/UV Blue 1/2inch tubing

I am hoping someone on here could help us, I want some Blue/UV Blue 1/2inch tubing.

I do not want Primochill "Blue", which in my opinion looks more purple under normal light.

I have had XSPC blue/UV Blue which I can't find anywhere in Oz any more.

Could get it from the UK, but would rather give money to a local first

So PLEASE help me OCAU

Yeah I thought that would be a problem.
Unless someone else jumps in with another aussie WC store (I checked Gam, TKR and PCCG) you'll probably have to order from the UK.

Ask KoiTech for some. He'll dig it out of some hellhole.

If he responds.

I rekcon you're wrong there... Could be your UV lights that are causing that. I've used the Primochill blue tubing shitloads of times and its a really nice blue imho.

I've also got 2m brand new which is still in the plastic wrap from Gam if you're after any.

looks pretty whitish-blue to me... it will be the acrylic housing of the CCFLs that cause it mate, you can actually sand it off though (2k grit+ only) but some types of acrylic are just shit quality unfortunately, things are built to break now

I am not denying that Primochill tube looks great under UV light, it does

But when I have no lights on, normal day light, it looks purple

ahk, fair enough... not as far as I know then...

The first time I picked up the UV primo stuff I was equally disappointed with the dark purple colour, but got used to it quick - it doesn't even have to be UV light, even with an LED strip or two it lights up nicely. It seems to be something specifically in sunlight that makes it look opaque purple imo.

MAYHEMS UV BLUE CONCENTRATE


Has anyone had personal experience with Mayhem's UV Blue dye? Is it any good?some pics would be great

If there is a blue coolant base you could use that with the clear/uv blue tube for added leetness?

But dye = not much fun.
