Scott's Tiger Dye

This dye job is an orange head with black and white Bengal Tiger print.

Steps

1. First I used hot glue to make circles and funny rounded shapes. Make sure to pull of all of the little strings of hot glue before dyeing. After the water came to a boil I put in the sunshine orange RIT dye. and soaked the head for about 10 minutes.

Problems: If the head is in the hot water too long then the hot glue will start to melt.

2. After I was done dyeing the head orange I pulled it out and let it sit in my kitchen sink for 5 minutes. Next I hot glued all of the the head except for inside the first circles that I had made. I then let it sit in the black dye for 10 minutes and later put it back in my sink

Note: when doing any black dye always put in 1/2 a cup of salt and 6 tablespoons of vinegar. These help to raise the temperature of the water

3. This is the hard part: when the head cooled, I put it in the freezer for about 30 minutes. Then I used a dull butter knife and my hands to pull off all of the glue.

4. I then strung up the stick with orange sidewalls, orange shooting stings, and white mesh.

In the end, the dye job turned out looking great.
