Title: Dylon dye - seat dyeing
Post by: steve Beech TA on April 09, 2009, 06:52 AM


I have read waxin's sticky about how to dye a seat ( http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php?board=32.0 ) Top work, but remember reading somewhere that they have stopped selling dylon, is this correct? if so what dye are peeps using now or whats the best alternative. I want to dye a mongoose seat black,  so i need to buy some ebony black Dylon, but dont want to spend hours looking for somthing that does no exist any more.


cheers all for your help, steve :daumenhoch:
