Giles, don´t post pics like that. I guess a lot of people will think about having their SR overdyed..

Best part of the video is hearing the patch go clicking across the table like a poker chip when Giles drops it.

Out of curiosity, how long and how hot is the OD wash?  Are there any non-trade secrets that could be shared?  I'm thinking about an OD project of my own and I'd like to replicate the professional version as well as possible.

[Giles]

I thionk that it is 60C, but do not know for how long…........

unless you have a large pot you could "boil" your jeans in i wouldn't bother. just comes out patchy or not set in probability [use salt to help set]. also there is all kind of "BLACK" you obviously want blue based.

[quesadilla]

those OD ones are pretty nuts..
not sure if this was asked but why were there special soaking instructions when these went for sale?

because otherwise G. would have had many more SRs in need of the additional OD-treatment

If you are referring to the special soaking instructions on a new/regular pair, the info. is on page 35.

[quesadilla]

but very good point simon haha

I'm not planning to do jeans, just a couple of smaller items and I have an old 5 gallon bucket I was planning to use.  I think it will allow enough movement so that the dye won't get patchy.

Why would I want blue based dye?  I didn't know there was more than one kind of black…

[jimmy]

blue base dye because i thought you were dyeing jeans.

black is not a real colour, its made up for several colours just really dark. eg. have you ever seen something written in black vivid/felt tip pen and it gets smudged or wet? the smudge sometimes runs blue, purple, red etc that's the main base color it was used to create the "BLACK"

also its hard or impossible to dye synthetic fibres such as nylon etc.. have fun!
