Fettski Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 ok, so I'm going to try to dye my pants and shirt tonight. Does anyone have any advice they would like to add? I know this has been covered and that a bucket or the washing machine can be used. There has not been anything mentioned lately and I'm just wondering if anyone has any updated comments for the good of the group. I have 2 packs each of the Rit powder dark brown and black. I also have a sink that I can use as a " large bucket" in my laundry room. And I wont mind if it Dye's the plastic of the sink a little. I like the sink idea because if i am not happy with the result, I can put the clothes back in and not have to add more powder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren1970 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I used a large bucket to dye mine in. I left the camo in the dark brown for the whole required time, but when it came to the black dying I took them out after about 20 mins.

Fettski Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 So they are drying after first round of dark brown and I am a little nervous they may be too dark. Either that or I may not need the black which could be good. Any of you notice they lighten up when they dry. 1 pack dry Rit + 3 gallons hot water + 30 min in sink. I can still see the pattern.

LENOX61 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 So they are drying after first round of dark brown and I am a little nervous they may be too dark.

I used all of the dark brown, let it completely dry out and then used all of the black and let that dry completely also. I noticed when I did mine, it appeared darker because it was wet. After it dried, it did fade but it gives you the color which is preferred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fettski Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 30 min brown and then 15 min in black. the pic is a little washed out from the flash.
