Mine have been through the Dying process twice now and are currently a barber jacket greeny/brown. Not good.



Has anyone dyed zytecs before ? Had any probs ?

If anyone has tried white to black please help !!!!! Any other advice would be great.

I used 2 1/2 tins of ebony black per wheel. boiling water from the kettle, and just over your regular amount of salt.

cheers
owen

It's definately multi-purpose dye I bought.

Did you go from white to black ?

I have no idea what's gone wrong here.

thanks.  :-\

... so do you guys advise using tons of salt then ?

I've heard else where to stick to near enough the  30 g per tin.

Is the salt thing proven, cause I dyed once with the recommended amount and then the second time chucked sh-loads in, and didn't notice any change.  :-\
