BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN:
and how long have you been sitting on this info mate  ::) ;D

DJL:
its not looking good,  they've been in for half an hour and they've gone from red to a dirty red colour,  i've whacked the heat up anyway  ;D

DJL:
nearly two hours now,  they've got darker but you can still clearly see that they were red - they've gone a kind of dark reddy/brown colour.....  i've only ever dyed a seat before and that went from yellow to a nice,  dark black in 2 hours - do you think the grips would benefit from longer or am i flogging a dead horse??

DJL:
i know it looks like i'm talking to myself on this thread but just keeping it updated  ;D  they've been in for three hours - half hour off the heat but the rest of the time with the heat on - they're now black!  i'm turning the heat off now but i'm going to keep them in the hot water for a bit longer while i go out etc,  seems to make sense rather than taking them out and throwing the already very hot dye solution away......

i'll post some pics later on after i've taken them out,  rinsed them and dried them.....
