Had a go at Dyeing Tuffs today!

<< < (3/3)

crightonk:
I used 2 tubs of madonna blue dylon, was going to use 3 but as soon as the dye was in the water it went really dark so didnt put the 3rd tin in, I kept stirring the dye and turning the wheels over and changing them from top to bottom in the bucket every 15-20 mins or so over a period of 4 hours.

oldtired:
asked this before so i'll ask it while the topic i current does the dye penetrate into the wheel? so you dont get brake rub showing, fancied some red tuffs for a rider and was going to do a new white set, those look bob on  :daumenhoch: doo like blue tuffs  :daumenhoch:

crightonk:
Not sure how deep it penetrates but as there were blue originally these will be fine for a rider, white ones will dye red no prob's but I think the rims will soon go pink/white with brake wear.

oldtired:
cool worth a bash then  :daumenhoch:  although i'm going to need about £10000000  for red tuff pads  :LolLolLolLol:
