Oh dear...!!! We need a thumbs down animation...! ;)

For dying seats is Rit based on the same process as using Dylon...? So 2 packs per seat in a bucket with 500g of salt for 2 hours...? ???

What colour you after?

Blick...! Dont tell me you have some as Ive ordered some now...!!!
-
Dylon no longer avalible in the small tins - multi purpose - cold dye
muti-purpose is the only dylon to dye nylon
rit is the same type of stuff but has different colours - more new, to the old school colours dylon did
-
What are the popular colours in the dylon tins?
I came across a cache of them the other day but i couldnt remember the "stock" colours people use..... besides the black ;)
On a related note, there is a chance i may have a way to dye the plastics dylon wont touch. Will let you all know how i get on :daumenhoch:

If it was, I wouldn't be on here so much. I would be stocking up on cucumbers and mirrors, and having a few nights in ;)

Any thing that matches the old stuff of what colour we use to see - some can be mixed but it's not easy :D

i'm always look for every colour - cold dye and MP if you buy that stock - parts trade ;)
-
dylon and acetate some times works - see you tube and study
-
Yep, i recall at least half of those names on that chart. My missus bought 7 or 8 for her textile work. They were all MP and some just had number but no names (i guess the older ones). They had around 35/40 in a box. What part of the country are in in Bendy? a good friend of mine
On the dying of other plastics, a good friend of mine works with plastics alot and has to colour them for her work. it only dawned on me the other day that the industrial dyes she uses might work. Going to get some off her next week and have a crack at something :daumenhoch:
