Re: The Dye that Didn't take
I do not know what the instructions say, but what if you removed it and just let it sit and air dry?

Re: The Dye that Didn't take
Might need more heat to open up the pores in the nylon for it to take the dye. Either that or $300 and I’ll sell you mine. ![Smile](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_smile.gif)

Re: The Dye that Didn't take
My experience with dying nylon, is that the dye bath needs to be boiling, and the nylon needs to be un-pigmented.
