Kool-Aid

I tried that Kool-Aid dying technique taught by "Magnus" awhile back on some wild turkey feathers I purchased from Custom Feathers. AWESOME and simple. I was blown away by the results! THANK YOU to "Magnus"

Cane knife. Your very welcome. Just passing on what I've learned here from others. Glad it worked out for you. It's actually quite easy isn't it. Now let's see some pics of those fine feathers when you get the fletched.

and just think.....if you drink that stuff, your insides could be colored like a bowl of fruit loops!

Yep....Matt's got a lot of those "simple stuff" ideas....and they work very well. Kudos to him for his gift of helping others.....and building great arrows.

How about using it to atain shafts???Would it work??

Cyclic-Rivers · February 20, 2011, 08:35:00 AM

If it was that easy to attain wood shafts Tim, everyone would do it

Sorry had to do it.

Bowspirit stained some shafts with RIT dye and they turned out really nice. Not sure about cool aid though.

Koolaid is quick and easy

Done hundreds of feathers with Koolaid

Do you think it would work on gray hair?

I'm assuming you are using unsweetened. Are you just soaking them in kool-aid?

Do you see teenagers with bright red and blue hair. Often they use kool aid. so if it works on theirs I would assume it would work on yours.

Footed shaft is the master at it. He's who guided me. Thanks Bill!

Swine stalker. Do a search on dying feathers. I posted complete instructions on how to do it. Probably two weeks ago.

I spilled a bit of Kool-aid on a Formica counter & didn't notice it till the next day. Scrubbed it with one of those scrubby things & plenty of soap. Still have the stain. Didn't lighten up or get dull. That's some bad stain!

Yep, keep it off your fingers too!!!
I just buy the regular old Kool Aid, don't think it is un-sweetened . Bill
