Rit Dye More works great on green Salt 2 (Pic Added)

Post by Ferruginous »

I dyed my Salt 2 wharncliffe Graphite Grey with Rit Dye More. It was easier than using the regular Rit dye, only took about 10 minutes to completely change color. I used half of the bottle of liquid dye and a teaspoon of dish soap per the instructions.

The last time I did this, with regular Rit, it took 30 minutes before the color changed. The "more" version works much faster.

Sorry no pic yet, will try to take one later when the lighting is correct. I did attempt but it came out looking darker than it appears in person.

Seems a little odd since "All-Purpose" RIT dye is for nylon and natural fibers, and Dye More for polyester and some other synthetics. Just going off that, one would assume the all-purpose dye works better on FRN. Maybe Dye More just works faster?

Sorry it took so long, added a picture.

Graphite Grey is my new favorite RIT color.

Nice! The green is cool, but I went all black with my Pac Salt. I think it looks great with the black hardware and satin blade.
