Location: Bloomington, IL		Hi Guys,

I'm wanting to change the color of the skirt on a few of my bucktails. Rather than trying to get new skirts, I was wondering if was possible to dye the existing ones? Two are white(ish) and one is orange. They are all some sort of hair, the orange is for sure squirrel (Mepps).

Thanks for any advice!

Sweet! Any tips or special prep work that needs to be done first? how long does it need to dry before being used?

Location: Bloomington, IL		Is reactive a brand or a type of dye? Its not a huge concern, as I'm just using black, but still curious.
