When I did it I didn't have any problems with the pan itself, the hardest part for me was to keep the heat low enough to not warp the parts yet warm enough to insure good dye penetration. That's where the colander comes into play as it keeps the parts up off the bottom of the pan and away from the highest heat.

Speaking of boiling your parts...
has anyone tried to reposition arms/ legs of AF figures?

I have tried it with arms before but they always seem to return to their original position over time.

Another option would be to "cut and fill" ? which I have never tried ..... but have thought about.
