Default Dying your own feathers.

Done some (years ago) but really didn't like playing with that caustic stuff. New thread on the Speypages on using the kids "Koolaide" drink. This is the sugar/flavoring stuff you mix together for a kids drink. Comes in lots of flavors/coulors and who knew???

Want to play? Read this: http://www.ronnlucassr.com/docs/Dyin...hers%20101.pdf

Heck of it is they make single serving packets that you add to 16 oz of water. Cringe when I say this, but they're damned good over ice.

If you want some info on dying, not mortally, you could do worse than have a chat with Ed at fordsflytying. Ed has recently dyed some pukka peacock eyes. I'm sure he would share his experiences and help, Ed is very approachable .

Chris.
