Title: Chartreuse dye for turkey feathers
Post by: Strutter on January 10, 2013, 07:11:00 PM
What dye will give the brightest chartreuse color on a real turkey feather?  Anyone have any pics they can post of feathers dyed this color?  I have tried the RIT dye and it came out dull.  I love the durability of real feathers but I can't see em' after I let em' go so thought I'd try to dye some more and see what happens.

Thanks,
Rob

Hey Rob,
I have been told that Neon food coloring works, but have not tried it yet.
I also found a product called Veniard's dye. It is marketed to flyfishermen. I have not tried, but I am going to. See the attached link. If you do try please post your results.

Three Rivers has chartreuse dye for sale. I've used it and it works very well. I don't know how to post pictures.  JIM
