Well Alex i'm a big fan

Hey, Freak, that's nice of you to say. BTW, it was this badge you posted that originally got me interested in the Eco-Flo dyes. I was blown away by the colors you were able to achieve!

Nice workmanship. Crisp lines and stitching. I don't care for the color, but that's individual preference. I'd be interested in knowing how the water-based finishing materials work out in actual use.

Yes, it's definitely a nice, vivid orange. This was Ranger Tan right out of the bottle. On some test pieces, I've found you can knock down the orange tone by adding a few drops of Java Brown to produce a nice saddle tan.

If you're curious about the Eco-Flo dyes, you should definitely give them a try. In my experience, they're easier to apply (i.e. - get the correct color) than spirit dyes. Plus, there's no buffing required, since the dye pigment is liquid, not suspended pigment particles, as with the spirit dyes. On the downside, Eco-Flo dyes are more sensitive to water and some finishing products, like Lexol.
