Title: How many Radsters does it take to dye some NOS Grips ....unsuccessfully?
Post by: factory pilot on February 11, 2016, 08:18 AM
I'll let the pictures do the talking ....

First add salt... (Bad idea .... Salt raises the boiling temperature of water and we were then scuppered from the get go as our lovely mix of Rit, water and salt never got close to simmering ...DOH!

Then

Add a muffin ( preferably chocolate chip  )

Give it a stir and .....

Wait and wait ....

It was a good laugh  :4_17_5:

Shame the grips didn't dye but im sure they will Ant , just need more heat to get those pores open  :D :daumenhoch:

My Mums kitchen escaped unscathed which i didn't think would happen with us halfwits in there .

The spooky house next door won't be bloody spooky if i ever get planning permission to flatten the place !!  ::) >:(   ......... but i will lose my dyeing/spray booth  :D

Top night lads even if the results weren't quite what we expected .

It was a funny and bizarre night. Thanks for the tea & Jaffa cakes Joff. The muffins were from the co-op by the way. We'll try Sainsbury's next time - they might dye better!

I was actually thinking that we should have added more chocolate chips to counter balance the trailer load of salt we put in!! :nuts:

To be fair if I'd have asked my mum for a pan to dye me grips in she would have told me where to go!

Go Radmum.. We salute you !  :angrysoapbox:
