I left them in for 2 hrs each but one didn't take too well and put in again today for 5 hrs which did the trick. I turned them over every hr, as for the hubs bit of autosol and job done :daumenhoch:

There's a whole section on here about dying Tuffs - Rombloke is down in folklore as the master, but these do look good :daumenhoch:

Must admit, they look great but surely someone would have swapped a fairly rare yellow set for a common as muck black set? :2funny:

I'm going to ask the daft question, but I'm assuming you lit the BBQ to keep the water hot? Or am I really being thick, and you really wanted to cook your kippers....... :crazy2:

Anyone got any experience of dying a white one to blue by the way?

Spen

Hi spen, yes it was to keep the water hot whilst dyeing and rombloke on here gave me some advice, also munners (nick).

Post by: munners on October 13, 2008, 08:18 AM: I think you took it one step forward though Nick with the barby thing. ;) Quality way of keeping the water heated.
