Skyway BBQ first time dyeing wheels

[jono]

Hi all just wanted to share my dyeing with you all as it was my first proper attempt 
This is how the wheel started

This is my equipment i used  a 205 ltr drum cut into 2 bits, the bottom bit filled with bbq coal and the top part for the water 

And the finished product

I left them in for 2 hrs each but one didn't take too well and put in again today for 5 hrs which did the trick. I turned them over every hr, as for the hubs bit of autosol and job done

There's a whole section on here about dying Tuffs - Rombloke is down in folklore as the master, but these do look good

Must admit, they look great but surely someone would have swapped a fairly rare yellow set for a common as muck black set?

I'm going to ask the daft question, but I'm assuming you lit the BBQ to keep the water hot? Or am I really being thick, and you really wanted to cook your kippers.......

Anyone got any experience of dying a white one to blue by the way?

i had a similar setup when i dyed some zytecs

i tried the burner in this pic but ended up with a BBQ tray and coals

[sweetbeats]

Nothing short of genius that give me a shout when the kippers are cooked

Hi spen, yes it was to keep the water hot whilst dyeing and rombloke on here gave me some advice, also munners (nick).

[munners]

I think you took it one step forward though Nick with the barby thing.   Quality way of keeping the water heated.

Are they the yellow ones i sold ya?
