What brand of dye do you use to dye the old school hard plastic seats? Thanks.

rit from the grocery store. use a couple packets.
the trick is boiling it with a dose of salt.
hang the seat so it doesn't hit the metal of the pan or the plastic will distort.
turkey cooker outside if you have one.
or on a pan in the house when the misses is gone.

I second that. RIT is the best. I have tried other dyes, but the others dont work.
