Message: Hello.
I just came aacross your web site and thought you may be able to help me.
I am interested in purchasing a inflateable Hayack but I can only find them in bright colored fabrics. I need them to be a dark/drab color like green or brown. I'm trying to find out what type of dye to use for such a thing. Here is a link to the Kayack I want to purchase.

I was hoping you coould look at it and sell me the correct dye or recomend what type and what meathod to use to dye it.

(You may find a lot more information if you spell the word "kayak" when you do your searches.)

This is a very difficult question to answer, because it is impossible to know what dye to use unless you know the identity of the fiber to which you will be applying it, but the material used to make the inflatable boats is not listed. It would be best to contact the seller and ask for their advice. They might tell you that it is not a good idea to dye it yourself. Perhaps they can direct you to a suitably drab-colored model.

Inflatable kayaks are probably made with a coating which will repel all dyes and paints. If that is so, you will not be able to dye one satisfactorily.

(Please help support this web site. Thank you.)
