Basically yes, but I prefer to make some kind of suspension system where the scales are free hanging in the dye bath, so they aren't laying flat. I feel this gives a more even dye job. With black though, it doesn't matter so much.

Hi, it's super easy to do! I have a brief write up on the process here (and have some other examples kicking around on other threads):

Many others here on the forum have had good luck as well with doing these dye jobs. For the price, you can't be a RIT treatment to change things up. Good luck! Cheers, Paul :)
