polyester furName: Deb
Message: Is it possible to dye polyester fur? We have a monkey costume
that is gray, but needs to be brown for a dance production in June. Our monkey
looks like a squirrel instead and it's not possible to make another one.
Thanks.
I've never tried it. If it is possible, you would follow the information found on the following page: http://www.pburch.net/dyeing/dispersedye.shtml However, boiling might ruin the fur's texture completely. It would be safer to use thin fabric paint. See http://www.dharmatrading.com for several different high-quality types of fabric paint. Thick paint would clump the fur and be entirely inappropriate, but thin paint might work. You should remove a scrap of the material to test, if possible. Posted: Thursday - April 08, 2004 at 12:34 PM
