Post by: BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN on November 29, 2011, 11:49 PM: I would go with the powder boxes

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120801569768'ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

i bought the above, but haven't used it yet

it's like the Dylon Dyes

if you are going for a colour - volume of water to amount of dye used to amount of time left for - each of these can change the colour and end results

you might want to wait for a couple of other members to answe as well and see what they say as well ;)

cheers B ;)
