Dying clear red grips? ANSWERED!

(1/2) > >>

thecaptain:
A few weeks ago I asked if clear red grips (jive ez) could be dyed black, no one was sure and a few said that it wouldnt work, well I tried it today and it worked

1.new jive ez grips



2. boiled in a pot for 10mins

3. removed let cool for 30seconds

4. boiled enough water to cover grips, added about 4 tablespoons of salt and the whole pack of rit nylon dye

5. put the grips in and let simmer on lowest heat for about an hour and a half

6. took grips out carefully and put into a pot of cold water, took out and here they are!


 still a little wet from the cold water but have now dried off and are mint!

hope this helps others
