Title: Dylon ?
Post by: gmac on January 20, 2006, 07:30 PM

Which type is the one for dyeing mags, seats etc, and where can you get it, B&Q ? How many packs/blocks/tubes whatever it comes in, do you need for a pair of wheels ?

I'm gonna try dyeing some slightly yellowed, white Zytecs to orange, as a test before I ruin a pair of Tuffs or Z-rims.

Don't worry, I won't forget the salt  ;)

Cheers

Guy  :daumenhoch:

Is it specifically for dyeing plastics, or is it for something else ? All I can find on the net, is stuff for dyeing fabrics
