--- End quote ---
Salt is only used when dying cotton, useless for dying nylon, I contacted Rit, they said for best results add 1 heaped table spoon of non bio washing powder,  Rit is only designed to dye within 40 mins,  so if it doesn't work after that it will never dye :daumenhoch:(all depends on the grade/quality of nylon)
boiling water and salt will only damage metal items including the pot, I know , I've done it.
Don't leave a seat in longer than the 40 mins or the seat rails end up a baggy fit in the seat :daumenhoch:

hokuspokus74:
I was always told to us e the salt when dyeing,fook sake people give some many indications on dyeing stuff,will need to try it without salt and try adding non bio washing powder
