You need a big plastic tub, I got mine from B&Q for £12, 2 packs of Rit dye available off eBay and 2 containers of table salt from the supermarket, you also need a wallpaper steamer that you can remove the bit that makes contact with the wall leaving a tube only.

Andy (dancetothebummersbeat) did some blue Z's last year for his Adidas build, pm him mate.
