AndrewNaylor Posted October 19, 2016 Share #2 Posted October 19, 2016 Try a nice cup of Tea! the longer you leave the fabric in the darker it gets. and unless you ask your wife to wash the sails in washing machine with one of the many produces that "TAKES OUT ANY STAIN" your sails will be any shade of tea you like I think RUM might work but I for one are not waisting any of that precious liquid Andy Seventynet, mtaylor, Jack12477 and 2 others 5 Quote Current Build HM Granado CC Past builds HMS Chatham CC, HM Convulsion CC, Duke William German Kit, Fair American LSS, The Wright Flyer MS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druxey Posted October 19, 2016 Share #3 Posted October 19, 2016 Tea works, but is acidic and will rot the fabric in time. Dylon dyes are compatible for mixing.

druxey Posted October 20, 2016 Share #6 Posted October 20, 2016 I think you may need to experiment a bit to get the color you want. Those color names would probably give you something close to a brownish red, depending on how much brown you use. mtaylor and Altduck 2 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
