: My wife would like me to dye a Canadian flag into the hatch cover of the new
: kit S&G I'm about to build for her. I'll also be dyeing the deck sheer
: panels and coaming lip but I'm not sure of a good technique to dye a sharp
: edged pattern onto the deck. I don't want any bleed through across the
: edge of the pattern. I've heard of scoring the pattern and using masking
: tape as well but I don't want to try something experimental for this since
: it will be so visible.

: Has anyone done this successfully and can you share how you did it?

Have you considered paint rather than dye? Most dyes tend to be slightly transparent and you might not get the coverage you need in the centre white panel with a dye...

If you do want to try a dye, I suggest that you use some of the scrap you have lying around and try with that first!
