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

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.
