: Anyone ever try using analine dyes on their kayaks?

: I have used it for years in furniture making. The clarity of dye, as opposed
: to stain, is remarkable. I am toying with the idea of tinting my lightly
: colored cypress strips to be a little darker.

Aniline dyes are supposed to be the most color fast of woodworking dyes, however, some guys have used Rit dye from the grocery store. Rit colors are vegetable dyes and not as color fast. They come in any color you could want.
