Hi guys

going to dye my kashi tonight but wondered exactly how to do it. Ive read the resto bit about using rit dye and rit liquid and salt, simmer and leave in etc... but exactly what should I do?

Both rits all of it in pan; how much salt, how long and how hot etc??

Cheers guys

I'll be keen to hear how it turns out, I was going to post something similar as I wasnt sure if I could dye a yellow seat blue?

From my experience there's no exact science as to timing, just pull it out have a look and plop it back in  :-\

I've dyed quite a few things over the years and nothing's fool proof, just don't put the dyed item too close to an original as you will see the difference.

i'm no expert on dying a kashimax, but i'd try like ......1/2kg salt with 1 tin of dye

....coupla hours on heat, stir stir, leave in over night ........


aah, just read, from Glen who actuelly didit
:"...rit dye or dylon (2 pots and around 750g salt)  for about an hour or 80 mins"
