No seriously is it possible to go yellow to blue via bleach and blue dye ?
Will I just fook up the seat ? What is the best way to go?

This one is an easy one for a guru such as myself.
You've added an unnecessary step with the Tipp-Ex. You simply need to apply an even coat of biro (Bic is a good brand) and voila!
Alternatively if you're unsure you want blue why not apply a thin layer of blue tak then if you want to go back to yellow simply peel it off.
Thanks for reading.

Or....for that sometimes necessary snakeskin effect, simply buy a big fat snake....place the seat within its mouth.....take a run up and kick it hard down its throat. Once at the desired stretch/coverage, simply cut off to suit....and glue :LolLolLolLol:
