Title: Anyone Tried Dyeing Padsets?
Post by: Rooonga on November 29, 2006, 05:44 PM

I need a new padset for my new Torker 0 yeh I know I've had 3 already - I can't resist 'em.

Anyway - I've seen a couple of sets on the bay - but they are in red, and I really want them black.

I wondered if anyone has tried using dye to re-colour them?

If so - what did you use? And what were the results?

Please reply ASAP as I am watching a set that ends later tonight.

Many thanks!

Paul
