Post by: animal on October 25, 2009, 08:30 PM: Do I take it that the RIT dye is much better than the dylon stuff ? Got some grips partially dyed black with Dylon. Wonder if the Rit stuff would do a better job ?

Post by: oldtired on October 26, 2009, 08:28 PM: them tuffs look nice, this is probably a dumb one but does the dye actually penetrate the plastic ,(zytel ? fibreglass? if thats what there made of) or is only on the surface? does it take the same on new tuffs ?
