kev.k Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Is there a quality dye that I could use to change one of these to coyote brown? They are really good quality for the money but I can only get one in desert cam. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Ian_Gere Posted April 6, 2013 Supporters Share Posted April 6, 2013 No, the colour is printed on during manufacture. I dunno what they use to make the dye bond with the Cordura, but it's probably a ketone which interferes with polymerisation enough to keep the 'ink' liquid, but as it evaporates leaves a thin coat of newly formed polymer bonded at a molecular level to the thread. You'll not find anything short of Gloss Paint that can do the same to thread which is specifically designed to shed liquid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
