A little follow-up on my original post. Tried a number of locally
available dyes and solvents,
an here is what I found.
Rit dye powder works . Rit Dye liquid does not.
Acetone works as a carrier, but MEK works a lot better. Mixed a little
scarlet Rit with some
MEK. Dipped in a piece of the PVC pipe. Contact time of just a few
seconds.
Let it air dry and the color seems plenty permanent. Could not remove the
color with a MEK or Acetone soaked rag.

How did you get the RIT powder into the MEK? I've dumped powder directly
into some MEK and it doesn't want to dissolve.
