Cheers for replying mate, yeah they do it in packs but i'm not sure how much i'll need now, 2 packs, 3 packs?

Sunflower yellow I think... can't see any Golden on ebay?

Don't use fabric dye. It is designed for fabric, and to soak into said fabrics (like cotton or etc). What you want is this.

Now note, I have no idea if that is the correct colour. What matters about that is that it's synthetic dye. So in other words it is designed to dye synthetics like nylon and etc. And what are Tuffs made from? Nylon. It will stick better and it will hold much better too.
