: We dissolved the dye (three packages in the end) with about a litre
: and a half of water and 25%vinegar in that. Don't know if the
: vinegar was necessary as it does say on the package that it is
: for nylon but I added vinegar to Coreys dye so thought it
: wouldn't hurt. We bought a whole bunch of dye and different
: colours so we can do lots of testing with it over the next
: couple of weeks. I will pst my results then.

It would be cool to do a tie-dyed kayak.
