Rusty 73:
Read on a old post something about to keep the water hot use a wall paper stripper and take the end off leaving just the tube. What do ya just stick the tube into the dyeing tub ? not sure....... :-\

pickle:
yep, get a steam wall paper stripper (just a huge kettle with a pipe) get it boiling with the steam coming out the tube and then stick the end in the bucket, keeps the water nice and hot for hours.  Just make sure you keep the steamer topped up  :daumenhoch:

Rusty 73:
Cheers for the tips people, ave got an old wallpaper stripper so will try that. Keeping the water hot for longer must help and using a plastic tub was wondering how to do this  :-\. Great idea. And Gonna soak them in hot water first to 'open the pours' before dyeing. Take two. If anyone's interested I will let you know how I get on. Thanks again.

pickle:
stick them in the dishwasher first, they come out nice and hot

Rusty 73:
The wife is the dishwasher so can't do that !
