Results of the new Veniards Fly Dye

[Fatman]

Got my Veniards Fly dye for Xmas and got to using it today. These are the little tubes it comes in, it only calls for a 1/4 of a teaspoon with a quart (liter) of water, and there's a whole lot more left in each of the tubes.

Fl. Green

Fl. Orange

Fl. Red - disappointed with this one, may try and re-do them but think I should have just gotten red.

Purple

Insect Green

Fl. Yellow - really happy with the way this one came out

Nice packed quart bags of each

Looking at getting the Fl. Pink

Those look good!

I've done some Koolaid microwave dyeing. How is the process for Veniard's? Similar? Where can a person get some of this dye?

The red sure looks more red in the bag. Looks like the stuff does it's job.

Jig man - use the natural colored ones as white

AllenOK - Same as kool-aid dyeing, some use micro-wave some don't I boil water in a pan and pour it into Ball Mason Jars, make sure they're real!!!! Ball canning jars they make a craft one and it don't cut it for dyeing feathers!!!!!!!!!

The Veniards you can get at Stone River Outfitters in New Hampshire http://www.stoneriveroutfitters.com/ he only orders it twice a year so quantities could be high or low.

Have seen it on ebay but they don't always have the fluorescent colors.

Way better youtube video's than anything I could come up with!!

Re-dyed the FL. Red ones and it made them a darkish Tangerine color. Still a good useable color.

The Kool-Aid and RIT when you re-dye will darken them up but think with the Veniards you have to start again with un-dyed feathers.
