Members 8thsinner Posted October 17, 2010 Members Report Posted October 17, 2010 The ziploc idea sounds great but I would add one more thing to it, tie a knot in the end of the lace, and secure this in the bag at the corner to be snipped with an elastic, add dye as normal then snip as normal but the end of the lace is ready to grasp, Tip the bag to the snipped bag is on top then pull the lace out wearing gloves but using friction inside the bag, this should drain off any excess and ensure your dye lasts longer.

Members roo4u Posted October 17, 2010 Members Report Posted October 17, 2010 i use many different methods...dunk and shake for colors that i want really dark...or i mostly just pull the lace thru the dye(i use a bent shower curtain hook to hold it down in the dye then i just pull it tru reall quick)...this i do on a table covered in the brown paper that is often used to ship my leather to me. this method keeps the lace from getting really wet from the dye, it is colored but not soaked thru. then hang it to dry...i feel it is important not to coil it while it is wet...when dry i polish the lace with an old sock on my hand, seal it and done.
