Re: [VFB] Dying Experiments
The food dye is very color fast. Dyed using straight vinegar and heated in microwave. Feathers were pre rinsed with hot water and liquid dish detergent. I let them soak for about 1/2 hour and then rinse before putting in the dye. ___ No infection found in this outgoing message Scanned by iolo System Shield® http://www.iolo.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.

Re: [VFB] Dying Experiments
Nice colours. I've seen a few posts saying food dye now a chance to ask the questions I've been wondering. How colour fast is food dye? I take it that dying is just the same as feather/dylon dye.
