Any walmart, target or kmart(if you can find one) sells it. I got my dye for my tp1 at kmart.

I started with a stainless steel pot and I put approximately 8 cups of hot (from the tap) water in there, and put the stove (mine is gas, so electric ones may vary) on the lowest possible setting. Dumped 3/4 of the packet of dye in. Stir it every well to ensure the dye is fully dissolved. I then put the cover in the pot with the back facing UPWARDS. Don't put it facing down or it may warp from the heat on the bottom of the pot. I let it soak for about 5 minutes stirring it occasionally.
