    Default I have a question


    Guys, I was wondering the coloring that we use in plastic is it possible that you could use it to dye feathers?
    The reason why I asked is, I was shaking a bottle of blue, and it flew all of my t-shirts. Put it in the wash machine and it stayed blue. It did not wash out so that’s why I was wondering if it would stick to the feathers.

    Not sure but imagine if it stuck to T-shirt it would do the same for feathers. Probably cost more than normal dyes though.

    No, I don’t think so. I believe the powder that we use is the same is what they used to dye feathers.. I believe the powder is what they add warm oil to and sell it to you guys for making plastics. There is a wide variety of colors to pick from go to show me your major soap companies, the same stuff they used to dye soap, and they have lots of colors that are very interesting. I should say where are you get soap supplies to make soap.

    Did the test work? I used to just use Kool aid to tint white feathers.

    But, that was the good old days Kool Aid that would stain your lips and fingers for days. Good as Rit dye.
    The stuff nowadays is really weak.
