no salt needed with this dye,either that or i misread the instructions!!i think this dye has salt in the mix already,thats what it says on the packet(i hope) anyways i just filled the kettle right to max then boiled it,then stuck the boiled water into a medium size saucepan followed by the dye then the grips ,.then left to simmer on a really really low heat for 1hr and 15 mins,with occasionally topping the water back up from the kettle as when it evaporates from the pan the grips start poking out!!!after that i put them in cold water for a minute to seal in the dye,peice of cake!!!! the down side tho is ive now got one knackered saucepan,a stained sink,stained hands and worktops!!!!the grips cost me £3 from gaybay,the repairs to fixtures and fittings will be way more!! :LolLolLolLol:

i might give the grips a boil up on there own first too as mine seemed a bit hard.

seems very hit and miss..my first lot went perfect..then tried some for lee and they were having none of it...

they were a bit grubby though, so maybe they have to be clean/nos and the right compound...

Thought the "Fetts" were amongst the most fearless Mandelorian Warriors in the galaxy... surely dying some grips would be a piece of piss  ;D

Are ya sure you aint "Jango" from the "crap" trilogy that actually doesn't exist as opposed to kickass "Boba" from the REAL Star Wars  :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:
