skillfulmmd Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Ok I know that I said to Liam porter that I would make a thread showing how to dye hessian tape after some research and hunting around for the right equipment I have gotten some hessian tape and some dye that "should" work. I have currently taken a small sample piece of it just to test the die and see if the hessian is treated or un-treated as treated hessian won't take the die. If all goes well I will buy a few meters worth tomorrow and I will have it done by tomorrow evening just in time for Combat Souths summer evening game on Wednesday. Here is a few images of the dyes I am going to use: Dylon Choclate brown dye I wanted woodland brown but they didnt have any: Brown Dylon Velvet Black dye: Black Dylon olive green this is the only olive they had left theres not much of it but thats life: olive green And the sample piece of the hessian which I'm going to add a before and after ordeal to: Before: http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss77/Sk...b3a7b0-orig.jpg I got more hessian today quite a lot of it in fact: hessina cloth and this is the results so far I'm going to dye it now: stage 1 with hessian The suit with the base layer pretty much done just need to shorten some of it and then shred it: Visit My Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
