    any dying experts?

    This year I really want to step up doing things myself. I have never tried to dye anything myself. I have a few freinds that trap and will have access to alot of different hides, how hard is dying hides and is it worth the trouble? Any info from guys that have or do dye would be very helpful.

    I can tell you all you need about this game, l at one time owned a large business that processed fly tying material. To be honest unless it is some weird color or a material that you cannot obtain from the major sources, Wapsi and Hareline it is more trouble that it is worth.
    By the time you invest in the dyeware and chemicals to deal with the product, screwed around with it and messed it up, not to mention costs and time.

    Many of the dyes we use are special dyes which are not available from the town stores, some of them contain carcinogens and you need certain chemicals as fishing agents.

    I would imagine you are getting fur from animals such as coons, possums, muskrat, beaver, squirrels, may be otter.
    Most of these material are best used as natural colors.
    Deer hair processing is not easy as the hides need to be tanned before you an dye them well, all fatty tissue must be removed, same also for buck-tails.

    Thin skin hides that contain little fatty tissue can be dried using borax.

    Not trying to put you off here, just giving you the benefit of my advice and what you are getting into.

    Davy.
