Love it :LolLolLolLol:

Why would you want to dye Ame grips , they already do rounds and tris in every colour for under a tenner
sell the ones you've got for a tenner and so on
if it's cams your doing I 'll shut my gob :D ;D
-
Besides I've some black tri's for sale if you want Mark :D , cheaper than Rit dye ,postage , salt and gas :angel:

Also tried some white Super Softs too but they wouldn't take either ???

Dyeing grips is an urban myth , I tell thee :crazy2: :D

obviously.

as we speak they are on simmer,fingers crossed it looks like the dye is taking although thats a sauce pan fooked!! :LolLolLolLol:
-
I dyed mine in a kettle ;) brew's tasted fookin rank for months after :D
-
and here we have it!!!!a mint set of bubble fonts,pretty good i think although i may give them another dunking some time to get them blacker than black,but ame rounds do dye fine,whoop whoop

no salt needed with this dye,either that or i misread the instructions!!i think this dye has salt in the mix already,thats what it says on the packet(i hope) anyways i just filled the kettle right to max then boiled it,then stuck the boiled water into a medium size saucepan followed by the dye then the grips ,.then left to simmer on a really really low heat for 1hr and 15 mins,with occasionally topping the water back up from the kettle as when it evaporates from the pan the grips start poking out!!!after that i put them in cold water for a minute to seal in the dye,peice of cake!!!! the down side tho is ive now got one knackered saucepan,a stained sink,stained hands and worktops!!!!the grips cost me £3 from gaybay,the repairs to fixtures and fittings will be way more!! :LolLolLolLol:

make sure you use the same dye i did tho!! rit dye in black!!

and ffs dont put the lid on the pan when simmering,leave it off!!if it boils over its new kitchen im afraid!!! :LolLolLolLol:
-
lol will do.
i might give the grips a boil up on there own first too as mine seemed a bit hard.
might soften em up and dye take better.
-
Camping stove in the back garden and a cheap argos saucepan by the sounds then - missus will have me b0ll0cks if I get black dye all over the kitchen work tops ! :shocked:

Why oh why won't it work for me?

seems very hit and miss..my first lot went perfect..then tried some for lee and they were having none of it...
they were a bit grubby though, so maybe they have to be clean/nos and the right compound...

Thought the "Fetts" were amongst the most fearless Mandelorian Warriors in the galaxy... surely dying some grips would be a piece of piss ;D
Are ya sure you aint "Jango" from the "crap" trilogy that actually doesn't exist as opposed to kickass "Boba" from the REAL Star Wars :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:
