Sails dye

[MESSIS]

Need a hand.... if somebody knows about dyes. Can I mix Dylon Hand Fabric Dye of two diferent colours?

[AndrewNaylor]

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

Tea works, but is acidic and will rot the fabric in time. Dylon dyes are compatible for mixing.

No wonder my stomach plays up so much I must cut down on the Tea!! dame that acid

[MESSIS]

Thx druxey.

Shall I first disolve the powders and mix till I get the colour I need.? And I wonder if it happens you know that, blood red is made out of tulip red and some dark brown both dylon colours?

 

Thx again for ur response

[druxey]

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.
