Help Please - Struggling to dye Rubber grips
« on: April 12, 2012, 10:55 PM »
Got a pair of rubber OGK MACH grips on the go and they just wont turn.

Got black hands, a black hob, black tiles....

They've been on the heat for 2 hours and they're just patchy yellow, going to leave them overnight with the remaining heat....

But my gut tells me they won't be any different in the morning.

Any Help Please?
