Can you re dye pads?  i got a pad that's a bit faded over the years and would like to re dye it black if i can?  would it effect the white writting on the pad?

Rob hi mate. I've done it to two sets of my pads including an original GT set and they have come up fine. If the writing is screen printed on then it won't affect them at all  :daumenhoch:

Usual dye from woolworths mate, just in a large saucepan and a tiny bit of salt but not much, done them in about 5 minutes, really simple. Then rinsed them off and let them dry in the airing cupboard  :daumenhoch:
