Fatman Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Okay I've been talking to a few about dyeing so I THINK!! THINK!!! I did this right. This is a slide show listing what I used and the color it came out. I hope it works right!! As you can see from some of my early tries they didn't come out so good!! http://s218.photobucket.com/user/Fatmans1/slideshow/dyes%20and%20final%20color?sort=3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fshng2 Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) Those are some real nice feathers. Do you remove remaining dye residue? Rinse in cold water till water is clear then wash with soap and water. I have dyed a few tails and used this process. I remember purchasing some dyed tails and feathers and had dye residue come off flies tied with them when they were wet. I ended up washing them with soap and water and letting dry.

Fatman Posted January 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 fshng2 Only ever rinsed them off and never had a problem with them. Now I've done rabbit hide arctic fox body and tail pieces and haven't had any problems with those either. Haven't done any bucktails as I bought a big lot off a guy.
