I wouldn't do it man. It'll destroy the integrity and flex of the pencil and possibly void your warranty

I was really concerned about the warranty. I thought that if it ruined the flex, I could return it, but I guess I'm wrong this is a really hard decision.

Do it, pencils suck. Dye a G2, if you fuck up...... it's over.

I'd try it on a #5 just to make sure it works. You shouldn't put your #2 at risk like this...

Mechanical pencils don't work, it weakens the spring...I've lost too many that way, it's heartbreaking

i was considering it, but i decided that dying my cell phone charger would be a better investment

It seems like everyones so stoked to dye some pencils! Glad we can test and help each other out, its very dangerous and we could ruin our pencils.
