Apply hair bleach from your LIDL container   :D

Steve

merci
I got some dye on ebay , if you search ebay for ' acid dye wool feathers '  it should bring up lots .
milliners use them for dying feathers also .
I also got some large 1lb containers from cobb carpet also but u dont need that much for spot dying .

local hair salon supply or ebay
hair bleach is two part ,  the powder and developer mixed together 50/50
I'v found u can add water to make it liquid , and it seems to keep a while when mixed , well day or two anyway .
12% 40vol is the strongest commonly available
reason i use it  ... u can make heaps cheaply , usefull for mattress .
and there is no smell , i try not to use the sod met now , too smelly
In the pics im just pasting it on crudely  , but that was after doing another room first and checking the carpet dye wasnt effected in the time its on the carpet , would have to be more carefull on a different carpet .
